Dairy Reaction To Probiotics?

Has anybody had a reaction to a "dairy-free" probiotic? I think they still use milk in small amounts to make the cultures do they not? I'm buying one, but have heard that some people can react to even the small amount so I'm a little bit afraid.

I had no problem wit probiotics when I was unable to eat dairy.

I think if they assure you it is dairy free, they mean it.

I never had an issue with probiotics, dairy free or not ---BUT I do use the ones that are both DF and gluten-free.

Best wishes!

I'm very sensitive to dairy (possibly super sensitive?) and I was getting sick with "pearls" probiotics (of course I couldn't figure out what was making me sick at the time).

I'd gone through one box when they switched the labeling to remove "dairy free" (note: always check labels, even on stuff you've been using) - I contacted them and they told me that they did culture from dairy and could have trace amounts. My body sure noticed those trace amounts!

As soon as I switched to a dairy free probiotic that problem went away. So don't be afraid to use probiotics - just pick one that is gluten and dairy free. I use Renew Life Ultimate Flora (check for the allergen free varieties). I get it at Whole Foods and it's labeled gluten, dairy and soy free. No negative effects from it. Whether it actually helps, I couldn't say.

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
