I was on Align but the nutrionist at my GI's office said it was too weak and suggested Sustenex which I have been using - and am feeling somewhat better but not great :(

Which probiotics do you use and how effective are they?

My GI recommended Florajen3. I think they sell them at most drug stores, usually in the refrigerated section. (They're supposed to be kept cold). They seem to be pretty effective for me. I stopped taking them for a month, and definitely felt significantly worse for the last couple weeks of that month.

The only kind I've been able to find that is free of all the things that make me sick is Enzymedica Pro-Bio. It's pretty spendy by my standards, but I feel much better when taking this stuff.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Citracal Petite supplements

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Liamclarke · Posted

      I was diagnosed with celiac and basically had stunted growth because my body wasn’t taking In nutrients which may explain the weight loss I would take this seriously and get tested
