Hi I would so appreciate some advice on a good probiotic for celiac and a good fibre suppliment as I am backing up since going gluten-free...UGH.. both have to be dairy free too...

oh well so many other things are starting to feel better like my fatigue, i will take it for now, but do need advice on a suppliment to help me get things moveing until things in the intestines calm down...

Thanks so much, enjoy your day. :D

I put psyllium husks in my smoothie every morning...great source of fiber and naturally gluten free. For probiotics, I just switched back to Lame Advertisement...great for celiacs who need to repair their intestinal tracks. They add in many beneficial ingredients, such as l-glutamine to help repair and prevent leaky gut.

I also use plain psylium husks every morning. Just add it to a little juice. Works great for me. Not sure about probiotics, though. I should look into that.

great thank you so much, I will search out those probiotics. I personally have trouble with psyllium husk, funny enough it actually makes me more backed up...

I can't tolerate psyllium so have used hemp seed meal and am now using oat bran which I order from Montana Monster Munchies. I have stopped using probiotics and use goat's milk yogurt, it's easy to make. The probiotics I was using had a mix of 9 different bacteria including acidophilus. I found that advice to use the yogurt from the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. The foods on this diet don't feed the organisms in your intestine which cause gas, bloating and discomfort.

I take Acidophilus Pearls by Enzymatic Therapy. I have only tried 2 or 3 different probiotics and these seem to work the best.

You might also want to consider taking a digestive enzyme supplement. I personally take Now Pancreatin.

      A question - eggs & dairy

      By Lotte18 · Posted

      I went back to consuming dairy after a year of healed villi.  What I didn't know is that along with developing celiac, my pancreas was no longer producing enough enzyme to consume lactose.  My GI said he often sees this with celiac patients.  Some people can go back to dairy with no problems at all and others will develop odd symptoms like ataxia--balance issues, etc.-- for no apparent reason.  It took me a year of suffering to get it all straightened out.  Hope this saves you some time!

      Blood results

      Do you know what the lab's standard range is for the IgA tTG2 result? The Endomysial IgA basically tests for the same antibodies as IgA tTG2 but it uses an older, less sensitive method and the result is positive/negative rather than quantitative. Hence, it is possible to show raised IgA tTG2 antibodies without getting a positive test for Endomysial IgA antibodies.

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly

      Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Allegra is an antihistamine.  Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful.  Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods.  Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food.  Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily.  Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.  SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels.  Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat.  We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria.  We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them.   The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish.   Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO.   Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems.
