Probiotics

Can someone please suggest a brand of probiotics that are gluten-free that they use? Funny, I never in my life had any stomach issues and was only dx with celiac disease because of my iron deficiency and osteoporosis at the age of 27. However, since I have gone gluten-free I am now getting stomach pains........ I almost wish i didn't go gluten-free because of it..... well maybe not because my peripheral neuropathy has gone away as well as my bone pain and hand numbness. Anyway could someone please post some PROBIOTIC brands that they are using that are good. I never tried them before and am hoping that maybe they will help with these stomach issue I now have! THANKS

I'm taking Florajen3. They're wheat, gluten, yeast, sugar, soy, eggs, corn, coloring & preservative free.

I know some people take probiotics with higher culture contents (Florajen3 has 15 billion cultures per pill), but these seem to be helping me.

I use Flora-Q. Due to some nasty stuff I had going on, I am taking it 2x's daily per my dr's orders. It is an OTC drug. Seems to really be helping me:)

I go to a dietician, who is exceptionally well informed about celiac. She recommended Primadophilus Optima by Nature's Way. It's definitely gluten free and contains 14 different strains of probiotics. It made a huge difference for me.....no more running to the bathroom unexpectedly. Also cut down on the bloating, gas, etc......

Many health food stores carry it, or you can get it online.

I use Vital 10. They are free of gluten and most allergens.

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
