I was just wondering if anyone takes enzymes to help with digestion and if so which ones? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I take Acidophelous (sp?). I have been taking it awhile so I don't remember what it was like first taking it.

It's a probiotic.

I take digestive enzymes and acidophelus(probiotics) both by enzymatic therapy. All of their supplements list what they are free of which makes things easier but there are alot of other good brands out there as well. :D

Yes, I'm taking ENZYMES and having good results. I am unable to eat dairy products, so I haven't tried the acidophelus (how ever its spelled) type.

I'm taking INFLAM-A-WAY from the company PREMIER LABS. The label says "HI-Potency ENZYME Formula Clinically Tested." I get it from the doc it is very expensive $$$$ 40.00 a bottle of 180 tablets. The doc has me taking 18 pills, 6 pills - 3X times a day. It's about $130.00 a month? I did it for a couple of weeks now, I've cut myself back to about 6 a day. Only because I can't afford them. I was able to find them online a little cheaper.

I don't know if this is perfect for what we have, when I looked up on the labs web site it looks like this is for people with arthritis or physical swelling and pain. I don't have any of those things since I took myself off HRT 4-years ago. I called the doc back and quizzed him on it. He said it will work for Celiac but that the manufacturer labels for the top selling ailment. I HAVE noticed a difference.

The doc also gave me (oral) IMMUNOGLOBULIN THERAPY. It tastes like drinking soap, but if I feel better, I can get past the taste. He told me this is something that AIDS patients take and mix in their cocktails. I drink a tablespoon 6 times a day in any type of drink. I mix it with water. It costs $30.00 for a half a months supply.

I have been getting good results so far.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE SUPPLEMENT FACTS ON THE LABELS JUST E-MAIL ME AND I WILL SEND IT TO YOU OR POST IT ON THIS FORUM.

Good Luck and stay healthy! :)

Yes, I take Essential Enzymes by Source Naturals, about 2 with every meal except breakfast which is usually light. Then I also take a probiotic that has multiple strains, Metagenics Ultra Flora Plus DF (means dairy free), plus I make my own homemade kefir out of rice or almond milk so it is DF as well. I swear by all of it. I also take a soluble fiber supplement before meals for the IBS. It stabilizes both diarrhea or constipation and act as a buffer for food so it doesn't trigger spasms.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
