Do you use probiotics and if so, do you find they help? Which probiotic works for you?

I just checked here for old posts on the subject and decided to go with PB8 by Nutrition Now as it seemed to be the best bargain ( I am..uh... frugal..) And was available locally at a store by the mall. I am in my first week. It is gluten, soy and dairy free but It seems to be a bit of a challenge to my body. After several years of gluten free things are still not right and this is changing things a bit. I figure I am going to give it a good month before I determine effectiveness. There are a number of others available. Hopefully some others will chime in with their experiences.

I don't use them and never have. I eat yogurt and saurkraut or other fermented foods instead. If I am taking antibiotics I make sure I start eating yogurt a couple times a day before I take my first dose and continue until the script is gone. Not saying they are not something you should take. I just would rather not take pills.

I've been on probiotics for over a year. If I go two days without them, the belly bloat comes raging back. I think I am a lifer :P

My doctor suggested alternating between Theralac and TruFlora. I take the Theralac one day on an empty stomach, then the next day I take TruFlora on a full stomach. They did make my stomach upset at first, but now I am used to them. I have been taking them for a few months, but I have to admit, I do forget to take them sometimes. I am not sure if they are helping or not. I have been gluten free since October (and somewhat dairy free), and initially felt good. Now I seem to be having other food allergies, and I am working on figuring out what they are.

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!
