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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/
