Need A gluten-free Probiotic For Kids

I have some Nature's Way for kids.... when I called regarding their gluten free status, the girl on the phone said "it looks like it's gluten free, I don't see any gluten" So, that's a big NO!

What brand of probiotics for your kids do you use? I've also noticed that alot of the kid friendly pro-b's use lactobacillus, which has traces of milk. So, I'm on the hunt for a safe brand. I'm hoping to find some at the local health store, I really don't want to shop online......I always spend so much more! Thanks.

By "for kids" do you need something that is chewable or can the child swallow pills?

Yeah, I need something chewable that has a kid friendly flavor. It seems to be tricky finding something that tastes good, is chewable, but also casein free.

Try asking the pharmacist. Sometimes they have some behind the counter. I asked and got acidiphilus tablets suitable for kids that way.

This is what I am using right now for my DD (celiac)and son(sinus infection). I got them at Whole Foods but Iguess you can order them online.

I did just buy these from the Vitiman Shoppe and they were cheaper.

Hi Tamara,

I Just found this thread and I see it is from September. We did the Kirkman Labs stuff (loads of their products) for our child with speech delays. It is a product big within the ASD Community.

It got so expensive we stopped after some time. BUT for Gluten-free Casein-free diet, and free from other allergens, it cannot be beat.

My oldest loaded with yeast, due to overly Rx'd antibiotics, this and Nyastatin helped. He became much more verbal after this!

I hope by now you found something that has worked for you. If not, HTH!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
