Align probiotics says on the package "This product does not conatin lactose, soy or gluten" So they are safe. I've taken them before, but just started a new treatment today based on some issues that I've been experiencing.

I take probiotics but don't understand the difference between pre and pro. Is one better than the other?

I like Kyodophilis 9 best. Often I use Futurebiotics Vegeterian Enzyme Comples which has Acidipholus, Digestive enzymes and Betaine HCl in one pill. Goat's milk kefir was good for a while but goat dairy does not agree with me very well. Homemade, digested overnight, cow or goat yogurt is used with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.

      Second update: the tTG just came through. Scale is 0-4.99flu. My result is 108.47.

      Positive biopsy

      This is a good point. The primary things I’ve been able to tolerate are crackers and pretzels and bread slices (also rice and potatoes but ntp). I’ve been loading up on gluten based snacks so the testing should be valid as far as I understand.

      Positive biopsy

      Just one thing I will add that you need to be aware of. If by some chance you had been avoiding gluten or eating less of it than what would be normal for most healthy people, the antibody results for celiac might still be negative. I understand that one of the symptoms of SMA syndrome is difficulty in eating because stuff isn't moving through like it should...

      Positive biopsy

      Your total IgA is normal. This test is run because if you are deficient in IgA the celiac specific IgA tests might not be valid (might not detect celiac disease). Hopefully some of those other tubes of blood will include other tests for celiac antibodies which might include Tissue transglutaminase (TTG) IgA and IgG, Deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA and IgG,...

      Positive biopsy

      Hi all. Thank you for the responses. I hope I’m responding right, lots of new things this week. I also thought it was a long shot to get any real responses. Clarifications — the positive biopsy was an accidental finding. I had an endoscopy as a precautionary measure. I was recently diagnosed with SMA syndrome and before surgery they wanted the upper end...

I understand that one of the symptoms of SMA syndrome is difficulty in eating because stuff isn't moving through like it should. Valid celiac antibody testing requires the consumption of normal/generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of the blood draw.

      Your total IgA is normal.  This test is run because if you are deficient in IgA the celiac specific IgA tests might not be valid (might not detect celiac disease). Hopefully some of those other tubes of blood will include other tests for celiac antibodies which might include Tissue transglutaminase (TTG) IgA and IgG, Deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA and IgG, and Endomysial antibody (EMA).  They don’t all have to be positive to indicate celiac disease. Please let us know the results when you get them.  We will probably then say “welcome to the club you never wanted to join.”

I also thought it was a long shot to get any real responses.  Clarifications — the positive biopsy was an accidental finding. I had an endoscopy as a precautionary measure. I was recently diagnosed with SMA syndrome and before surgery they wanted the upper endo to confirm no other problems were hiding.    I had the bloodwork drawn after the biopsy came back positive. Celiac came out of left field. The result I have of 114 is for total IgA on scale of 70-400 mg/ml. There is allegedly another pending lab (they took 4 tubes, only IgA has resulted and I cannot see pending tests until tests are confirmed).
