Probotics -kyo- Dophilus

HI everyone,

I just started using the probotic from Wakunaga of America - "Kyo-Dophilus" five days ago & started having a lot of bloating. I feel so full & I'm having trouble eating. I usually feel like this when I get glutened. It does say it's gluten free on the bottle, but I know that sometimes doesn't mean anything.

I just called the company & they told me it's normal to have bloating the first week that you take them because your body is relieving the toxins. They also confirmed they're gluten free. And they said they do test this product.

Has anyone tried the probotics from this company? I looked at their other products & some say they're gluten free, but they also say there is wheat in them? When I asked them about this they told me they remove the protein from the wheat for some of their products. The product I'm using doesn't say it has wheat in it, but I'm wondering if I should trust this company? I'm just not sure if I should keep taking them or not....

Has anyone tried probiotics, especially form this company? Is it normal to have a bloated feeling for the first week?

And do probiotics Really heal the gut faster? Any comments -good or bad - will be so helpful. Thanks!

Just want to point out that the original post is from 2009.  Its possible ingredients have changed in that time.

Thank you, kareng!

 

I don´t think the ingredients might have changed that much..

 

It still says "free of gluten", but not "of wheat"...and I can tell you I can feel it pretty much! ... :(

 

Well, the question now is - what probiotic is REALLY safe for us with celiac and allergy to soy, wheat, dairy, and pretty much everything :/

 

Anybody suffering with these allergies and tried GutPro Powder for example ??

There have been issues with probiotics NOT being gluten free. Read about this here:

But, I still believe in them. My doctor recommends Bio-K which is fermented from soy, dairy or rice (your choice). It must be refrigerated and it is not cheap, but it is Certified gluten-free. Doc recommends after a course of antibiotics. I have also purchased CountryLife products and they are certified gluten-free by GFCO.org and are in capsules for easy travel. I keep them in the refrigerator when I am at home.

If you can eat yogurt, that is a good source. Fermented foods too!

Anyone has experience with Klaire Labs probiotics? 

Purchased their Lactoprime Plus. It says ´gluten and wheat free´..however..I´ve been in agony since Friday as I took a pill of probiotic from another brand and even though the bottle says ´gluten-free´, I am pretty sure it was cultured on either wheat or barley/rye - based medium (I could even feel the taste in my stomach and mouth !) and it gave me a horrible reaction :(

 

Im so sick and feeling like I need to take probiotics (was on antibiotics recently and sadly cant eat anything with natural probiotics)..I am afraid to put anything new to my system :// This just sucks so much..

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor. Sourdough...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means. However, the way the result is presented does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?
