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

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
