Yes, there are but I can't remember what they are. Why don't you do a search here and see what comes up.

I take Dairy-Free Bio-K. Fantastic. The dairy-free version is made with soy, but they say on their site that the non-soy is completely casein-free. They also make a pill version - I'm not sure what's in it though.

I use PB 8, Pro-Biotic Acidophilus For Life - no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, gluten, salt, milk, wheat or soy.

I am taking florajen3 - No wheat,yeast,sugar, soy,eggs,corn,gluten,coloring or preservatives - should keep refrigerated. I mix up FOS powder in my water and take it with the probiotic. I get it from a pharmacy, but you could probably go to there website. The pharmacist told me that it is like eating over 10+ yogarts a day.

I take the Jarrodolphius brand everyday. Didn't know there could be gluten in it!!!! Does anyone know if that brand is safe?

BG: Gluten can be in anything, unfortunately. Doesn't mean that it is, but one of the most important things to know on the gluten-free diet is that NOTHING goes in your mouth unless you know its ingredients are safe. If it doesn't say anything on the bottle about being free of certain allergens or if you are unsure of what the ingredients are, I would recommend calling the company to verify.

      Thanks for your reply Scott! A long time ago I realized I didn’t fit neatly into uncomplicated celiac disease. Over the years I’ve been diagnosed and treated for SIBO, pancreatic insufficiency and diagnosed with Stage 2 liver fibrosis. I think all the complications occurred because of the refractory celiac disease. When I hit menopause my gut issues seemed to calm down and because I was stable I made the mistake of not following up with my gastroenterologist. Then other autoimmune problems flared and I tried the methotrexate. It worked like a charm for my skin condition… then my sigmoid colon ruptured. Strange but my autoimmune skin condition remains in remission after 6 months off the medication. We have a very long waiting list to get back into see my GI doctor… I was an emergency referral but am still waiting 6 months after the perforation. I need more surgery to fix a fistula that has formed and to reconnect my colon… I have a colostomy at present. I became a dietitian who specializes in bowel diseases but have never met anyone who’s had so many complications with celiac disease. I have a brother and son who also have been diagnosed. My mother had 4 autoimmune diseases including a vasculitis that eventually resulted in her death and it was my father who had the HLA DQ2 gene. Think I inherited some tendencies from each of them. Thanks again for your response… it feels a little lonely dealing with GI issues when I work so hard to remain gluten free.

      Yes, unfortunately malt vinegar can definitely trigger a strong reaction in people with celiac disease. Malt vinegar is typically made from barley, which contains gluten, and unlike distilled white vinegar, it is not considered gluten-free. Even a small amount — especially if you’ve been strictly gluten-free for years — can cause a more intense reaction because your body is no longer accustomed to exposure. Many people report significant symptoms after accidental ingestion, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, or flu-like feelings. You’re not alone in that experience. It may help to be especially cautious with salad dressings, chips, sauces, and restaurant foods, where malt vinegar is sometimes used.

      A diagnosis of Refractory Celiac Disease Type 2 is a lot to absorb, especially if you feel like the severity wasn’t clearly communicated earlier. It’s understandable to feel shocked and frustrated. RCD Type 2 does require close specialist care, often with a gastroenterologist who has experience managing complex celiac cases, and sometimes coordination with hematology because of the immune cell changes involved. Focusing on nutrition is absolutely important — many people benefit from working with a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease to help address malabsorption, weight loss, and vitamin or mineral deficiencies. You’re doing the right thing by seeking information and support. Make sure you feel comfortable asking your care team direct questions about your biopsy results, treatment plan, and monitoring strategy — you deserve clarity and a coordinated approach.

      I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of that — that’s an incredibly complex history. While methotrexate is widely used at low weekly doses for autoimmune conditions, it can, in rare cases, cause serious gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration, mucosal injury, or even perforation. That said, a spontaneous sigmoid rupture from methotrexate at 15 mg weekly is extremely uncommon. In people with celiac disease — especially refractory celiac — there can already be underlying intestinal inflammation or altered mucosal integrity, which might theoretically increase vulnerability, but there isn’t strong published evidence clearly linking stable celiac disease to a markedly higher risk of methotrexate-related bowel perforation. Other factors such as concurrent inflammation, vascular compromise, infection, steroid use, or microscopic colitis may also contribute. It would be reasonable to review the case with a gastroenterologist familiar with refractory celiac and possibly a rheumatologist, and to report the event as a potential adverse drug reaction. I’d also be very interested to hear if others in the community have had similar experiences.
