Has anyone tried Threelac probiotics made by Global Health Trax for controlling candida? It says it is gluten free on the website and there a quite a few testimonials from people who have said it is the best product on the market, but I am always skeptical about stuff you order online. I remember someone saying they take NOW GR-8, but I saw on their website that it contains soy, I can't have soy.

Hi

I was really suprised to see someone mention threelac. My youngest son has a terrible bowel yeast overgrowth from taking so many antibiotics. No I'm not one to take my kids for antibiotics for every little thing. I would make them do blood work just to make sure it was bacterial and not viral. He had so many issues. I had looked into threelac for him for his yeast problem, but eventually settled on something else he was already taking since it started helping. However, I had contacted them to send me more information on the product. It was alot of chemical stuff and testing information. I took it to someone that understood that kind of jargon and decided that it probably was an ok product, but the price and the fact the other stuff was working I did not buy it. I will be interested to know if you try it and keep us posted of how it works for you.

You need to do alot of research into that product before you try it.

I actually bought it from Amazon, then after doing some research into it, I found that it carries a strain of bacteria that is actually quite harmful to you (something about the strain being the same as the one that plagues hospitals and cannot be treated- causing patients major issues with infection and sometime death). I asked my naturopath about it and he said to stay clear of it.

I too was hooked by the great testimonials online, but you need to realize that this product is manufactured in Japan and is not regulated by the FDA. Also, this product is sold as a secondary market (many websites are trying to sell the product and make major profits) so the testimonials are to be read with a little caution.

Here is just one link I was able to easily find about that strain...

Good luck to you!

Dyou mean Theralac? I take it as I am on antibiotics for Lyme. If it contains soy, try some of the nthe Intestinew products (available online but also at Whole Foods and health food stores). I've found their products to be excellent!

My naturopath advises it, but I never tried it because if I recall correctly it seemed complicated and there was a diet that went along with it that seemed even more complicated. I bought Candex. It seems to work for me. I bought it at Fred Meyer but I have also bought it online. It's vegetarian and free of all common allergens. Hmmm... It does say it contains malt diatase. Not sure what that is. Might be gluten.

I just wanted to say when I looked into threelac it was over three years ago. I believe there has bee more research and reviews since then. Here is an interesting review that presents both the positive and negative aspects of threelac so consumers can make a better informed choice.

After reading about the Enterococcus Faecalis bacteria in the Threelac probiotics, I don't think I am going to try it. It sounds too scary! I am still deciding what to try. Maybe the Theralac, but not sure if the ingredient that comes from milk would make me react...dairy gives me sinus and ear infections...years of antibiotics for those is what makes me think I might have a problem with yeast. Right now I am gluten, dairy, and soy free. My reaction to even trace amounts of soy is just as bad as gluten.

I looked again today and the NOW GR-8 dophilus doesn't have soy...don't know what I was thinking, must have gotten confused with something else I looked up. It doesn't say it doesn't contain dairy, but none of the ingredients look like dairy. Maybe it will work.

Threelac is well known around the world. It has been sold in Australia, Canada, UK, etc. The strain you think is dangerous is a different strain from that family. I believe is a very good product and probably the best so far to take candida to the right place. I don't sell Threelac. It is only what it has seen myself on it.

Don't use Threelac, every single package has 20ppm gluten.  I bought it to use for candida outbreak.  I was originally told it was gluten-free.  I was instructed to use 2 packages per day.  I got horribly sick. I confused it was candida die off effect. I contacted an employee at the company.  I asked him specifically about gluten.  He told me yes, it had less than 20ppm. If you are doing the Candida flush,  then you are supposed to take 2 packages per day.  That means you are getting close to 40ppm gluten.  I am so sensitive that a bread crumb makes me ill. I tried their product for a week until I started feeling like I was going to die. 

If you are a true Celiac I wouldn't try it.  That is my advice anyway.

If he told you it has less than 20 ppm he means that it is gluten-free, not that it contains 20 ppm. There is a big difference...you are interpreting a statement made by a manufacturer which includes the threshold to label a product "gluten-free" as though they add gluten to make sure that it is at that level. This is not what they meant when they told you that--they mean that it is gluten-free.

 I have been on antibiotics for over 7 months for a infection, ended up with candida issues, using this stuff I found on Amazon for it, I took the pills apart and tested the contents in a gluten testing kit. Came back gluten-free but here is what I am using Open Original Shared Link

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
