Aside from 24-hour Specific Carbohydrate Diet Yogurt, has anyone found a good, gluten-free pro-biotic supplement? I could use some help in finding one. Thank you for your help! :)

I use Kirkman Labs supplements. They have a nice selection of not only gluten-free but allergen-free products. They have a very nice customer service also. www.kirkmanlabs.com

I think the one I take is from Solaray. Whole Foods has a couple of dairy free probiotics, and I haven't seen many at all that contain gluten (unless they have oat fiber listed in the ingredients). Most of them say "gluten free" right on the label.

What do you like about the Solaray one?

We had four different brands in the house at the time of my diagnosis. Nothing on the label about being gluten-free, so I called each company. It surprised me when THREE of them said that the pro-biotics were not gluten free! Only one of them passed: Inflam-Away from Premier Labs.

Problem is that Inflam-Away (not InflameAway, that is a different product) is difficult to find. One online company took my order and never delivered! I can find them locally, but they are very expensive.

I'm hoping to find a good one that I can catch on sale from time to time, or order at a discount, if possible. If I order online, I also want to order from a well-established online merchant who I know and trust.

Also, the ingredients in different brands vary considerably -- I'd really like to hear from people here which ones they use and why -- decisions, decisions! :)

I really like Solaray vitamins, and I know they are gluten free. So that is probably a pretty good suggestion.

I take shelf-stable acidophilus at my local health store who also sells online. I think the price is right, the product really WORKS, and it's gluten, soy, corn, salt, yeast, and preservative free. You can find it Open Original Shared Link.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      Trying to read my lab results

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.
