Do you take them, and which ones do you take? How many strains of bacteria? Vegetarian or not? Capsules or not?

Thanks =)

according to a book called Restoring Your Digestive Health by Rubin and Brasco, which I found recently (I started a topic on this to verify/deny this), some IBS sufferers have a problem with a bacteria called Streptococcus thermophilus. yesterday I went around seeing what yogurt products have it and found that almost all of them do. OTOH, I found several probiotic products which don't have it.

anyway, I thought I would throw out that warning.

I also drink Kiefer everyday, you don't think that taking a probiotic, plus a glass of Kiefer a day would be overkill, do you?

interesting to know about that specific bacteria. off to check my yogurt now.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm getting ready to try Healthy Trinity by Natren in the refrigerated section. Native Sun said they are the best ones that they sell.

I'm not sure what Kiefer is? However as far as taking too much probiotics from what I know that's not an issue. You cannot really go wrong as long as it's a refrigerated probiotic eccentric coated ~ 1 billion per capsule. For example if you have a yeast overgrowth (candida) the recommended dosage is around ~ 10 billion per day.

I take Vital nutrients probiotic and seems to help a lot.

Thanks for the heads up. I have 2 bottles of probiotics, One I can't use and just keep to remember not to buy it again.

The stuff I cannot use has Streptococcus thermophilus in it so that may be it.

I use PB8 A white bottle with blue writing. It is great when I overeat or get gassy, or get constipated. It seems like every few weeks I need a few days of probiotics or my digestion just does not work with comfort.

I take Solaray Multidophilus. Its dairy-free. 3 billion of acidophilus bifidum and bulgarius. I take like 4-6 a day in the morning or before bed. They help my digestion alot and also help with gas from raw veggies. I love them. Expensive, but a quality brand. Capsules and Vegetarian as far as I know.

I have been taking the Danactive stuff but just found out that it is not guranteed to be 100% gluten free so I quit taking it, in fact I was wondering why my stomach had been on the frits lately!

Goodluck!

Sean.

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
