Need Suggestions About Probiotics

I just finished a round of antibiotics for an infection, and now I'm noticing more gas, bloating, etc :angry: . I've never used probiotics before, but I think it's time to try them. Can any of you suggest a gluten-free brand and/or the place you purchase them? What should I expect when I start taking them?

Thanks for your help!

Hi: I started probiotics about 6 months ago and am so impressed with the results! The brand I take is called Pro 8 and it is marked "gluten free". I purchasethem at my health food store--good luck. L.A.

You might consider taking a theraputic dose too. Couldn't hurt. I was eating 50 billion organisms a day and I quit cause I found I have all the symptoms of Celiac and needed to be tested.

Theraputic dose can be anywhere from 15 billion organisms to 30-40- or 50 billion.

Listen to your body! :)

My daughter is taking Super 8, by Flora it has 30 billion CFU - she had a round of antibiotics a few weeks ago.

I am now taking ultimate critical care, by renew life it has 50 billion cfu - we both have celiac ...

My other daughter takes renew life adult fomula, it has 15 billion CFU's - she is taking them to boost her immunity while she is at college. ... very tiny all her life, and fights to maintain a 100 pound weight today, still so tiny..

Everyone of those mentioned are gluten free, and purchased from a health food store. Some of free of milk, soy, corn, etc.... I was taking flora-jen 3, (gluten free too) purchased at a pharmacy, I really liked them, but I had to take several at different times a day to get the current dose I am now at....now I am taking one in the evening, it works better for me than in the morning. After the next month with this dose, I will be switching to a bit lower dose, perhaps a 30 billion cfu. I probably will be on them for a long time. I give them a lot of credit. I wish I would have known about them before now - I might now be as bad as I am today

plus...

My kids were all cesarean births, the bad news for them is that since they don't pass through the birth canal they miss out on the good bacteria they would pick up.... wish I would have known this a long time ago, it would have saved some agony giving them the infant dose way back when. My youngest may not have so many illnesses, or problems had I known.

You will see you may have to play around, experiment, with them until you find the right one for you, or the right dose for you..

I posted this before - perhaps it will help you Open Original Shared Link

Vinco's makes a really good one, I can't remember the name, but it's a 25 billion cultures.

It's really good.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it?

I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
