Hey guys!

I buy my charcoal and probiotics at Whole Foods. My friend with Celiac was saying that the gelatin and cellulose in capsules are made from grain. most of the time. I have no idea if that is true or not.

Do any of u buy ur charcoal and probiotics at whole foods?

Can you please tell me what brand u buy that is gluten free or that does not make u react?

I have been super sick this week and who knows if the two i have are causing it or not.

Thank u!

Yes, I got probiotics from whole foods. Udo's super 8 (my daughter takes this) and renew life criticial care 50 billion, and renew life adult 15 billion (other daugher takes these - helps to keep her well, better than vit c).

On Monday I am switching to a new one....Dr. Ohhira's probiotics 12 plus. They have vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. You have to take a loading dose of these, so I may be feeling a bit down after I start. But I have good feelings about this one, I have heard a ton of great things about this product.

I have been sick before taking probiotics...that is actually a good sign that they are working. It was my first kind,

flora jen3, I got them from a pharmacy....but after a short time I was okay... I did like that brand, it just wasn't strong enough, I have to take them to many times during the day. Perhaps you cut back on the dose and then build up to what you are taking. Nature's way optima was one that I could not take very well, I think it was the capsule, if I opened up the capsule I was okay, but taking it with the capsule, I was in agony.

I have come a long way, and I believe the probiotics have been a major help in that!

I have not taken a charcoal pills, I have thought about it, but haven't

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      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! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
