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.

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
