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

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
