My doctor recently just told me that when I have accidently had gluten I can take probiotics and that will help with the pain. Not long after that I did accidently have some gluten and sure enough i took the probiotics and the pain was much less severe. Next time you get sick try the probiotics, they're a life saver.

Can't really help you, but I know CarlaB is well versed in probiotics but she is on vacation. Hopefully, if I bump this thread she'll see it when she returns and can help you out. If not, just restart the topic when you see her posting again or send her a PM, I'm sure she'd be more than happy to help out.

For whatever it's worth, I have been taking Digestive Advantage (IBS) which has probiotics in it, and eating a live cultured yogurt everyday since middle of Jan, and I have only been sick one day. I really don't know if the Dig. Advantage is the reason I am doing better, but I find it a nice coincidence.

I do think they can be soothing for the stomach.

You need to be careful about the kind you take, because some can have dairy or other things in them that can cause other problems for some people -- so watch for other ingredients you may have issues with.

I think probiotics are a good thing.

Also, what I like about Digestive Advantage, is how inexpensive it is -- and it's available at Costco.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Do you mean take enzymes or digestive enzymes???? Probiotics are like the active cultures in yogurt. Often probiotics are recommended to take while or after an antibitotic treatment they replace the good bacteria that are killed off by the antibitotics. I don't know per say if they really help with any pain. I give them to my son almost daily or atleast a few times a week.

I think your doctor was possibly reffering to digestive enzymes...they will help your body break down the offending food if accedentally eatten. Here is one company many of my online friends use

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Could this be a new intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.
