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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
