How many of you use probiotics to help heal some of the issues with our numerous intolerances? Do you just eat yogurt, do you supplement with capsules/pills?

Is there anything out there for dairyfree/gluten-free?My daughter who is eleven will be on high doses of antibiotics for 1 month (and starting the gluten-free diet all the same time :( ) How much is one supposed to take, to try to balance your normal flora, while taking antibiotics.

How many of you have celiac and yeast problems all at the same time?

I use probiotics all the time now. I use a daily dose of pills at bedtime. I have not been diagnosed with an intestinal yeast problem, but I feel like I have a problem with it, and the probiotics help to reduce the painful bloating and gas. I feel worse when I don't take them. When I have to take antibiotics (and I always make sure they are gluten-free) I always get this horrible pain in my intestines. It basically feels like they are being ripped open. For a while I thought I was getting a hernia, but it ended up being the antibiotics.

What I have read about taking probiotics while on antibiotics is to take them as far apart as possible to increase the posibility of keeping the healthy bacteria in your intestines. You don't want the antibiotics killing all of the healthy bacteria that you are trying to replace. For example, if you take the antibiotics every 8 hours (at 8am, 4pm and midnight) then you would take the probiotics on a different 8 hour schedule at noon, 8pm and 4am).

I have used Jarrow Formulas. At first they bothered me because they have FOS (FructoOligoSaccharides) in them and I was having trouble digesting fruits when I was first going gluten-free. But they also say they are non-Dairy and free of all common allergens on the label. I have used the Jarro-Dophilus and the Bifidus Balance. Most often I use a combo of the two. It says a serving is 1 tablet, but to take 1-3 tablets a day 20-60 minutes after eating. Open Original Shared Link

I have also used Pro-Biotics Acidophilus by Nutrition Now Inc. It says contains no artificial colors, artificial flavors, preservatives, gluten, salt, wheat, or soy. It doesn't say anything about dairy though. The dose for that is 2 capsules a day. Open Original Shared Link

I have found that yogurt doesn't contain enough pro-biotics to help me with my symptoms. When I was eating yogurt I prefered plain that I would sweeten myself with a little bit of low sugar jam. The flavored ones have too much sweeteners in them.

God bless,

I also use probiotics all the time.They are extremely beneficial for the body. I take capsules every day. Right now I use Kyo-Dophilus probiotics. They work extremely well for me.

I used to take Enzymatic Therapy but the ones I am on now seem to help me more.

I think yogurt is beneficial and I eat alot that have probiotics in them but I find it not to be enough by itself. I need to take a capsule as well.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
