Probiotics Effects

I am on the 3rd day taking Probiotics. I have recently started a nut free, dairy/milk free, and of course for the past 9months gluten free diet. Started the probiotics due to bloating, nauseau and gas associated w/ the dairy. I have become even more bloated (didn't know it was possible) I am now constipated 2 1/2 days which is constipated for me. And gassy but really not even able to get it out. I feel like my stomach or intestines are actually "working" down there as there is movement and hard to discribe but movement. Anyone want to tell me any similar symptoms or what they went through in the beginning? Or did it get better?

Thank you,

Jody

I did not do well with Probiotics. I remember that I felt nauseated and stopped them after only a few days.

If they don't work for you, try some yogurt which also has the "good" bacteria.

I tried yogart but that and cheese and sour cream, butter, milk, cottage cheese, all the dairy has been making me ill. So yogart is not a good thing for me right now. Soon I hope but like i mentioned I am going dairy free and nut free for a while and see what is going on. Thank you for your response though! Always appreciated!

Don't probiotics come from dairy? I just picked some up yesterday and started taking them, myself. I would think that if probiotics do have dairy in them and you don't do well on dairy, that these probiotics would be a problem for you. Then again, I don't know a whole lot about probiotics.

I don't know how long you have been gluten-free, but you might be able to handle dairy at some future time. You could then try the probiotics again some other time when your gut has healed.

Hi,

Are you taking the probiotics in capsule form or are you taking the little drink versions?

I took the little drink things and didn't have any problems with constipation, however I think that they contain dairy.

You could try going off them for a few days to see if your symptoms are relieved, this would at least confirm that the two things are related. If your symptoms are relieved when you stop taking them, you could try reducing the amount you are taking. Maybe take them once a week at first and increasing the amount slowly.

Good Luck

Probiotics balance the good and the bad bacteria in our guts. They can also be gotten from fermented foods like saurkraut. My naturopath told me to eat that instead of yogurt since I can't do dairy or soy. If you are feeling worse on the pills I would drop them.

Probiotics gave me a noticeable difference after being on them for over a week. The first week was TERRIBLE, but then my body evened out.

I'd say give them a chance, but stay on it for a month.

So much for easy fixes, huh? ;)

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      Keep us posted and let us know the results of the biopsy. Your case is atypical in a way in that you have this high DGP-IGA but normal TTG-IGA so knowing how it turns out will give us more data for similar situations that may be posted in the future.

      Fair enough! I very easily could have misread somewhere. Celiac is very confusing lol but I should know in a little over a month what the final verdict is. Just thought chatting with people smarter than myself would get me in the right mindset. I just thought that DGP IGA was pretty high compared to some stuff I had seen and figured someone on here would be more willing to say it is more than likely celiac instead of my doctor who is trying to be less direct. She did finally say she believes it is celiac but wanted to confirm with the biopsy. I did figure it wouldn't hurt seeing what other people said too just because not all doctors are the best. I think mine is actually pretty good from what I have seen but I don't know what I don't know lol. Sorry lot of rambling here just trying to get every thought out. Thanks again!

      No, you don't necessarily need multiple testing methods to confirm celiac disease. There is an increasing trend for celiac diagnoses to be made on a single very high tTG-IGA test score. This started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was extreme stress on the healthcare system there and it is spreading to the US. A tTG-IGA score of somewhere between 5x and 10x normal is good enough by itself for some physicians to declare celiac disease. And mind you, that is the tTG-IGA, not the DGP-IGA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac antibody testing, the one test most commonly ordered and the one that physicians have the most confidence in. But in the US, many physicians still insist on a biopsy, even in the event of high tTG-IGA scores. Correct, the biopsy is considered "confirmation" of the blood antibody testing. But what is the need for confirmation of a testing methodology if the testing methodology is fool proof? As for the contribution of genetic testing for celiac disease, it cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease while only 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But it can be used to rule out celiac disease. That is, if you don't have the genes, you don't have celiac disease but you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      Okay yeah that helps! To answer your last bit my understanding was that you need to have multiple tests to confirm celiac. Blood, biopsy, dna, and then I think symptoms is another one. Either way I think everything has to be confirmed with the biopsy because that is the gold standard for testing (Doctors words). You also answered another question I forgot to ask about which is does a high value push to a higher % on those scales. I truly appreciate your answers though and just like hearing what other people think. Digging into forums and google for similar stuff has been tough. So thank you again!
