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

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant b...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that...

      Brain fog

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

To Trents, We didn’t do any of the construction but did visit the job site quite often.  While getting the old house ready we stirred up a lot of dust and I’m sure mold but haven’t been back there for over a month.

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant but also reliant on others to make her food (at school and home) but she didn’t have this problem prior to the gluten challenge when she went strictly gluten-free. It really makes sense to me that the gluten challenge inflammation hasn’t healed and I will be asking her doctors about nutritional issues. I ask for anecdotal stories because the research surrounding the gluten challenge seems to be inconsistent and inconclusive (at least what I’ve been able to find!). Thank you so much for your response!

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that a subsequent exposure hit her so hard. The persistent fatigue is a major red flag that her body is still struggling, potentially indicating that the initial damage hasn't fully healed or that her system is now in a heightened state of reactivity. Rather than seeking anecdotal timelines from others, her experience underscores the critical need for close follow-up with her gastroenterologist to rule out other nutrient deficiencies commonly caused by celiac flare-ups, like iron or B12, and to consult with a dietitian to scrutinize her diet for any hidden sources of cross-contamination that could be perpetuating her symptoms. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Brain fog, like other celiac disease symptoms, does improve after you to 100% gluten-free, and supplementation will also help.
