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.

Ciao

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

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
