Are these beneficial or is is better to buy the ones in the refrigerator. I've heard that the probiotics the fridge are better and the ones that come in pill form on the shelf aren't any good. Any thoughts?

i've heard the same. I use KAL brand pro-b. Keep it in the fridge. I know it helped to heal my intestines and keeps things regular. I just started giving them to my son, and it is helping him too.

Probiotics need to either be refrigerated or freeze dried capsules. Light and heat can destroy viable bacteria in products which are not refrigerated or freeze dried. If you have low levels of good bacteria, you will react with bloating and gas when you begin taking probiotics. Look for a product which at least contains the following: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis and FOS (Fructooligosaccharides). The last item is a 'prebiotic' which feeds the probiotics in your gut. Most people react to FOS with bloating and gas until their good intestinal bacteria reaches a healthy level.

I use these and have found them to be great. I like the fact they don't have to stay in the fridge, where I'll forget them. I take one in the morning, and one at night. This helps keep away what had been a monthly yeast infection. The price is great too. So, it works for me, it may not for others, but it does for me!

      I’m so confused…

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.

      Help with results

      By mariamccl · Posted

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!
