I wonder if I should start taking a probiotic?? I've heard that they're good...for....ahem......loose stools. :ph34r: Wonder if it would help me? Do any of you guys have any experience with these sorts of supplements...and any others that you might be able to recommend would be GREAT!!!

(I just had my first bout of stomach flu post-dx and it has kicked my BUTT, I'm trying to get back to where I was!)

I would highly recommend taking Florajen. It states right on the bottle that it is gluten free. Probiotics work great to get the normal gut bacteria working properly. It has a very high cell count and the bacteria are supposed to be better ones than those found in other probiotics. It needs to stay refridgerated but if you are gone, the capsules can stay good from 2 weeks. Here is the website link Open Original Shared Link

Well, my Mom got me "Sustenex." I wasn't sure, but after checking it out on their site, they ARE gluten free!

Now, I don't wanna get anyone's hopes up or anything....but I was still on the "loose" side even after several weeks of a gluten-free diet....as SOON as I started taking this probiotic.....I mean the VERY NEXT DAY.....I had nearly normal stools! And it has continued!!! I've been taking it for about a week and I just keep getting better and better!!! I'm still gluten free...but I think that maybe the combo of the two just really gave me the boost I needed....especially after having that bad bout of stomach flu... I think it help get my "chi" realigned or something.... :lol: Whatever it did, I'm GRATEFUL! :D

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
