Hey y'all, sorry I haven't been around. Got crazy busy for the holidays, and as a result got a little lax on my gluten avoiding skills. I had a serious glutening that lead to an infection. My doctor put me on Erythromycin, and said that since I get a lot of the side effects from antibiotics, I could take probiotics if I want.

The problem is, I can't find any information on when to take them. Taking both together seems a bit counter-intuitive to me. Has anyone dealt with this before?

At least two hours before or after the antibiotics.

I had heard at least 3-4 hours after antibiotics. Then, make sure you take them for 2-3 weeks after the antibiotics stop.

The bottle I have says "not to consume within 2 hours of taking antibiotics".

Holy crap, your bottle says so? That's cool.

At my Dr's visit 2 months ago he suggested I start taking Probotics as he said Celiac's have more bad bacteria than the "average" person...........so he told me to take Florastor twice a day once in the am and once in the pm. I then got sick and needed an antibotic and have never heard of a time period to take the probotic. I still take the probotic everyday and will continue to do so.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By CeliacPI · Posted

      Yes, I've read that online but I was just surprised that no one has mentioned it on this forum specifically.  We have not had our follow up meeting with the Dr where I'm sure she will advise as to how he needs to deal with this ailment.  I have learned from past health issues - if you want to find the REAL truth - talk to someone living with the disease.  THEY will know way more than any doctor ever could.    Thanks for responding.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While lymphocytic colitis (LC) isn’t as frequently discussed as other celiac-related conditions, research does show a connection between the two, likely due to shared autoimmune mechanisms. Some people with celiac do develop microscopic colitis (including lymphocytic or collagenous types), so your husband isn’t alone in this. The finding of dysplasia adds another layer of complexity, but the good news is that chromoendoscopy is a highly effective tool for detecting and monitoring precancerous changes—early intervention makes a big difference. Since his celiac went undiagnosed for so long, it’s possible the prolonged inflammation contributed to these issues, which is why strict gluten-free adherence and follow-up care are crucial now. For managing LC, some find relief with anti-inflammatory medications (like budesonide) or dietary adjustments (low-fat, low-fiber, or dairy-free trials), but his gastroenterologist can tailor a plan. You might also seek out online support groups for microscopic colitis—they often share practical tips.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      @CeliacPI, I know this does not directly address your question but it is well-known that in the celiac population, intestinal diseases in general are statistically more common than they are in the general population - IBS, colitis, lymphoma, etc.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By CeliacPI · Posted

      My husband was diagnosed with Celiac in January 2025.  He has been on a gluten free diet since official endoscopy which confirmed Celiac.  He just recently had a colonoscopy where he was diagnosed with "Lymphocytic Colitis".  His Gastroenterologist said that Lymphocytic Colitis is also associated with Celiac Disease.  I have looked on this forum and don't see any mention of other people being diagnosed with this disease.  Can anyone tell me if they have also been diagnosed with this?  They also found "dysplasia" in the colon which is considered precancerous and therefore they need to do another colonoscopy using a special technique called chromoendoscopy which helps them find abnormalties in the lining of the colon.  I can see why having Celiac for 55 years without knowing it and eating gluten every day would likely not be kind to your intestines and colon.  I would think more people would have these types of issues.  Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this.  Appreciate any feedback and advice on how to manage.   Thanks!

      What is Xiromed? I see that it is a generic manufacturer, but not a drug.
