Ive been using ultrase and it has really helped with my overall digestion and the fullness/bloating after meals. problem is AxCam Pharma (the maker) temporarily took it off the market and now i cant find it anywhere. i tried Creon which is a similar product but it gave me horrible bloating. anyone know where to get ultrase or something comparable that wont cause the side effects?

Hi Jason,

I am using Digest Gold by Enzymedica right now. No allergens or sucrose, yeast or fillers. I ordered them online.It's expensive, but most digestive enzymes are. I believe it has helped me quite a bit with digestion and breaking down foods, particularly raw veggies, etc. Don't mean to be too graphic, but I used to pass undigested food in loose stools and now, I have normal BMs without large food particles in it. (and hey, that's a cause for celebration to me :>) I have only been gluten-free for a month and I also take probiotics. Not sure if it will be compatible with your digestive system? Just offering a thought here..Ginny

I second the use of Digest Gold.....they are about as good as digestive enzymes get. Along with the use of probiotics, my GI tract is a happy camper these days!

I understand totally. I have had more trouble "trying things" myself, I just cannot tolerate them, but this brand has really helped me and I have not had any bad reactions. Maybe you should read about it online first. It gets high reviews from consumers.

I hope it helps you!

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
