3 Months Gluten Free

Hi! I am 20 years old and was diagnosed with Celiacs a little over three months ago, I have been eating gluten free ever since. I have also been taking a strong probiotic twice a day. I have recently tried taking the probiotic only once a day, in the morning, to see how I would feel. I have noticed mild stomach pains and bloating only at night after dinner. These pains aren't nearly as strong as they would be if I had gotten glutened. I am assuming these pains are still due to my intestines healing and having to work harder to digest without the extra help from the probiotic. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar with probiotics or without?

Thank you!!

I know when I start taking probiotics, if I have been off of them awhile, I get gassy until everything evens back out.

I'm also 3 months into the gluten-free diet and if I forget to take my probiotic before eating I definitely notice the difference -- much more 'gut gurgle' as I call it.

thanks guys! i think ill stick it out with the probiotics a little while longer. is it possible to build up a dependence on probiotics, though? that was my only reason for trying to stop, but clearly i am not ready.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
