I am wondering if I am reacting to probiotics? I have tried two recently that are supposed to be gluten-free.  As you know, I have been having very bad reactions the last week or two and I just restarted taking probiotics as well. Do you have any thoughts on that? Please let me know what you think. Are there some safe foods with probiotic in them besides dairy? Is there a fool proof way to take probiotics? What do you all take and where do you get it?

There was a study done recently that showed a bunch of probiotics labeled "gluten free" aren't actually. 

(Open Original Shared Link)

I drink Kombucha tea, which is both delicious and full of probiotics, with no issue. It is gluten free AND dairy free.

You can always choose a certified gluten-free probiotic.

Kimchi is another food that is gluten and dairy free and has probiotics. There is also sauerkraut. Or miso soup.

I have used a probiotic that claims to be gluten-free. Please suggest one and where to get it. Thanks for the food suggestions. Not sure what they all are and where to get them. But I'll look it up.

I have used Bio-K which is certified gluten-free and  long before my celiac disease diagnosis.  Prio to my dx, I used it after a course of antibiotics per my doctor.   It comes in milk, rice or a soy base.  It does need refrigeration and it is not cheap.   I bought some when I was glutened badly this past July.  

Country life also has certified gluten-free vitamins, enzymes and probiotics.  I took their enzymes too after my July glutening.  Everything hurt to digest!  The enzymes helped (at the very least they provide me with mental comfort!).

I just ordered one on Amazon.com called Daily Pro Blend 12B from a company called Open Doors Nutrition which is totally vegetarian and has no gluten or soy or dairy.   I will get it tomorrow - I had some probiotics that I ordered several months ago before I realized I had this celiac  and soy problem. I don't remember what was in them and they didn't agree with me so I tossed them.  If these don't agree with me, I'll get my money back from Amazon so is isn't a waste.

Update:  I've been taking these probiotics for the past few days, and am so happy with them.  I feel so much better and have had no negative effect from them at all.  I am so sensitive to soy and gluten and these really agree with me.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
