In answer to the question in your title ... Yes, I've taken Custom Probiotics for almost 2 years. I originally took them after having my 7th and 8th gastrointestinal infections (H. Pylori and Dientamoeba Fragilis) in a 4 year period. Everytime I had to take antibiotics to cope with intestinal infections, I knocked out my good bacteria. So I needed to get some really high dose probiotics into my gut quickly. Custom Probiotics' Adult CP-1 formula did the trick for me. For 6 months I took 100 billion IU (2 capsules) daily. My next stool test showed normal amounts of good bacteria in my gut. I haven't any more gut infections since I started taking Custom Probiotics. (I still take one 50 billion capsule daily.)

Sorry, I don't have any kids (thanks to undiagnosed celiac disease and Hashimoto's when I was younger). So I can't recommend a specific Custom Probiotics formula for kids. However, I do know the person who answers the phone at CP is very helpful and can recommend a probiotic formula suitable for your child.

Same here--I used them for a few months post- DX. I had no good bacteria in my gut apparently--found that out through testing--and these Custom Probiotics did the trick. Because they are powdered, you can start at a small dose and work your way up. I hit them heavy myself to get my gut flora balanced. I thought they were great! I had severe GI burning from mouth to rectum and I could not keep any food in at all. They calmed everything right down.

I cannot say personally how they work for children (as I could not have any either--thank you, Celiac :angry: ) but I know they are a good product.

The man who owns the company spoke to me at great length and was very helpful.

They will not harm your child and they have a formula made just for kids and they are lactose free --as I recall.

Give them a call! :)

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.

      For the vast majority of celiacs it's probably safe, however, it seems that for those who are super sensitive it's best to avoid such products. It's fairly easy now to find brands that are naturally gluten-free, which is what Celiac.com recommends.  You might finds this article interesting:
