Sick from Probiotics

Does anyone get sick from taking probiotics? I know probiotics often cause temporary side effects as they are getting into your system like gas and bloating.  But has anyone experienced long-term negative effects from these?  I'm taking Align and have been since I was diagnosed but I'm wondering if it is actually making me sick.  Let me know!

Thanks!

If you have leaky gut you have to wait for the junctures to tighten back up before using them, if you have a allergy to one of the strains or a intolerance you should avoid them, if your on a antibiotic it is going to keep killing them off with die off and causing gas,bloating, and could cause further complications.
Align is also highly suggested by doctors without consideration it contains dairy....my GI suggested it when I have whey allergies and lactose intolerance....I saw dairy and dreamed of the being married to the porcelain god....SO I found a alternative in Nature Way Fortify. and use it even to make homemade yogurt with nut milk.

Why do you need a probiotic?  Do you have something other than celiac disease?  Have you recently had a course of antibiotics and just want to help repopulate your colon?  Make an informed decision about their effectiveness  and make sure they are gluten free!

As far as I know I only have celiac disease.  I only take it because my GI told me I probably should.  I swear they are making me nauseous though! My GI says that they don't have that side effect so I was just curious if anyone else experienced this.  Either way I'm stopping them.  I have been taking them for 5 months and haven't noticed they help anything.

Back in 2015, one celiac center tested 20 probiotics.  Half of them contained gluten!  No wonder celiac patients were not getting well.  

I think most companies have cleaned up their act, but I would stop and start up again once you feel better or find a certified gluten free probiotic.  Here is an article.  You can also find the study on PUB MED.

i know you are recovering from a glutening from a restaurant.  Best to stick to a safe diet of homemade soups and stews (anything mushy and easy to digest...even cooked fruit, like a baked apple).  Ditch supplements, unless you have some certified gluten free versions, consider digestive enzymes (again, play it super safe and stick to certified gluten-free until you recover ), take prescribed medications (making sure they are verified as containing no gluten ingredients), drink water and wait it out.  This is advice from a celiac and not a doctor!  It works for me.  Boring but safe.  

Take risks when you are feeling better.

      In what way? Skinese:  You paid for it, might as well try.  They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."   Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt.  The no fat has varius ingrediEnts to mimic fats texture but some people react to the  gums used.   Sibo: Foods that do not contain carbohydrates or fiber do not usually cause problems. This includes meats (beef, pork, lamb, venison); poultry (chicken, turkey, duck); fish and shellfish; eggs; and butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Stonyfield Whole milk yogert, I think, is the only one with lactase for lactose intolerance.  Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] For your skin health you need dietary iodine intake around 500 to 1000 micrograms a day.  I take Liquid Iodine 500 mcg a day.  It is the amount I ate daily in the 1960/s before they stopped using it in bread.  Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine has decrease 50%.  50 mcg/drop in the brand I use.  The dose used to prove Wolff-Chaikoff Effect was upwards of 11 grams The USDA lists the safe range from 125 mcg to 1000 mcg (1 gram).  Japanese say 3000 mcg is safe.  Look at tradition japanese hair, skin, and their childrens intellegence.  They must be doing something more right than us.

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Antibodies went up

      By Barcino · Posted

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.

      She finally has her appointment today. They said in their opinion it’s likely celiac. But repeated the bloodwork today. Her frost bloodwork was weak positive 5.3 (4-10 is a weak positive) Dr wanted her own labs. And they will be calling us to schedule the endoscopy.  They told her to keep Eating gluten. She has been eating is again for the last couple weeks.
