I was turned on to this probiotic supplement... a woman in the store told me it was good for us celiacs. she meets with dietitians one a week at a celiac meeting.

so I when to the pharmacy to ask the pharmacist about this.. he said it would be good for me. it promotes good bacteria in the intestines.. so I've been on it for 4days nows.. taking two capsules a day.. I have had less pain.. and my bowels.. well put it this way.. my movements are non stressful and how do you say...it's a proud moment. :lol: I was wondering if anyone else has had these probiotic.. they are very expensive I paid 83.00 for bottle they have to be refrigerated. All I can say is it's been very beneficial for me....

I think many of us take probiotics, or have done so for a period in order to get gut bacteria to where they should be.

What brand are you taking? $83 is very expensive.

$83 bucks, wow that's a pricey probiotic. What is the name of the probiotic you are taking? I also think they are a good product but I think I never paid $83 bucks.

i take a multitude and don't feel quite the same effect they had when i first started with just one. is it possible to take too many? should i switch brands here and there? i wonder if they are just helping the bacteria start other problems i'll say or contributing to bad bacteria or whatever am i overwhelimg my gut with them. it seemed if i gobbled more it had a positive effect. now i can take like 10 pills at once and not even feel. (a variety of two kinds and pau d'arco)

Scotty I think you may have taken too much of a good thing. You do not need to take them indefinately. My herbalist had me on one type for 4 months (just one pill a day, although the bottle recommended 3 ) Then we switched to a different probiotic bacteria in the same brand of probiotics and I take 1 pill a day and it has been 2 months.

I take a great dairy free and gluten free probitic that costs under 30 dollars. It's made by Vinco's.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.
