Align Vs Culturelle

Hi everyone!

I have been taking Culturelle probiotics ever since I was diagnosed. I recently came across a $10 off coupon for Align probiotics, and having to eat gluten free I'll take any coupon I can get : )

I was just wondering if anyone has taken both brands, and if they differ at all? I don't have any problems with Culturelle, and I don't want to waste my money on Align if they aren't any good. But I have heard good things about them and I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts.

Thanks <3

Hi,

I took Culturelle and switched to Align, I really like Align and love that I can find the bigger box at Sams. I didn't have any issues with the culturelle except heartburn, which I don't have on the Align.

I think it has to be a personal choice. For me Culturelle did nothing for me good or bad...align was about the same for me....So find one for yourself that works for your body....And switch off to another brand that helps. We are not supposed to saty on one probiotic forever they need switched up...

I use Pearls & Dr.Ohirra's & in between use up the ones I bought that didn't do much so not to waste them...

I've used a variety of brands. I have to watch for dairy free soy free though. Read the ingredients and if you aren't intolerant to anything take them. Switch them up once in a while?

Have you tried Kombucca tea? The probiotic is very concentrated in it and it's a nice supplement to take occasionally. It's kind of like a tart cider. If you find that you like it you can brew your own.

      it's not mysterious, it's currently not officially diagnosed as labs are presenting a very complicated case with multiple potential causes- and of course they each have a different treatment. hmm... well everything you put in your body is interactive with everything else are you assuming I have an iodine deficiency?

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      Hello @knitty kitty, Thanks for your detailed reply. I have been eating bananas daily since my diagnosis. The only time I have noticed a reaction is when eating a banana without washing my hands first. I just had another banana this morning and am feeling fine. I will eat another one for lunch, since the 4 remaining are getting quite ripe. Traditionally...

      it's not mysterious, it's currently not officially diagnosed as labs are presenting a very complicated case with multiple potential causes- and of course they each have a different treatment.    hmm... well everything you put in your body is interactive with everything else   are you assuming I have an iodine deficiency?  I seriously doubt it but I'll check the iodine content of my nori sometime to see if maybe I'm getting too much... too much is bad too. link doesn't work I've spent hundreds if not thousands of hours crafting a good optimal diet for my particular needs.  Yes definitely thousands of hours. I have enjoyed it immensely and will continue to refine my diet as it suits me and my own physiology.  . My body has decided it will not work properly, either due to an adenoma (benign) or hyperplasia and/or a small kidney defect (that remains to be seen but it's not looking good) and/or we don't yet know......... it does NOT look like it's one single issue, it appears to be at least two different ones not going to give out my full medical history here for ppl to second guess (unless one or more of you have a medical degree and specialize in gastroenterology, nephrology, endocrinology, rheumatology etc) I got permission to stop the drug I was on (I was going to stop it without "permission") so in the meantime I have to walk a VERY VERY fine line with vit D and calcium intake to avoid losing any more BMD than I already have. while I wait til the next round of testing I MAY be able to tolerate a gluten challenge that doesn't have the addition of a confounding variable (the drug I just stopped) it was impossible to tell what symptoms were from the gluten challenge and which were from the drug

      Hello @knitty kitty, Thanks for your detailed reply.  I have been eating bananas daily since my diagnosis.  The only time I have noticed a reaction is when eating a banana without washing my hands first.  I just had another banana this morning and am feeling fine.  I will eat another one for lunch, since the 4 remaining are getting quite ripe.  Traditionally speaking, I have never had a problem with latex.  Granted I am freshly diagnosed with Celiac.  With that said, I have come to learn it impacts everyone differently.  For instance my vitamin levels are all in the normal range other than D.  From what I have read (here and elsewhere), that is somewhat rare. I already purchased 64oz of Everyone by EO hand lotion that is labeled gluten-free.  It arrived yesterday afternoon via Amazon.  I started using it last night and again this morning.  I haven't formed a final opinion on it, but initial thoughts are good.  I will be giving away the 3 brand new bottles of Lubriderm I had previously purchased (from Costco) some time last year. Thank you again and have a wonderful day ahead.
