RE: Re: Probiotic Whole Foods

[Guest guest]

I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve had such a rough

road. As far as sugar, I am not aware of that being related to celiac disease.

It is important that you do get some sugar in your diet though, as our bodies

must have it to survive. Glucose is where we get our energy to live. So I’d

guess you must mean refined sugar, not all sugar, right? Have you had your

blood glucose levels tested? It has been shown that those with one autoimmune

disease such as celiac are somewhat more likely to get others, such as diabetes

and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. You should be tested for those too.

You’re right that your body will be “off”

until you get all the right nutrients again, which you can’t do until

your intestines heal. I know that some people take extra B vitamins for a

while, but I’m no expert on that so I’ll have to let them explain

that. First you can have a blood test which looks at your nutrient levels to

see where you are deficient.

I sure wish I could decrease cravings! But I’d guess that

you’re right that recovery (and getting all the right nutrients) will

help that too.

Someone also mentioned avoiding dairy for a while – I should

have said that too. The reason is that the ends of the villi are the areas

which do most of the digestion of dairy, but until you’re healed, those

ends are gone, and so it’s very hard to digest dairy. That should also

get better with time. If you do have dairy it won’t hurt your villi nor

slow the healing, but it will probably give you other symptoms (pain, gas,

etc.).

All the best wishes!

Thanks .

I have Candida amongst of other secondary illnesses as a result of living with

CD for 11+ years. My whole body, Mind and brain are out of whack as a result,

along with having a sugar allergy. Eating sugar is so toxic for me. My life

becomes unmanageable, especially when compounded with gluten.

Do you know anything can help decrease cravings? Healing my stomach will

help...

Thank you!

Also, do most others with a gluten intolerance and/or allergy have a sugar

sensitivity as well? I'm seeing that people don't metabolize dairy, but was

wondering about sugar, corn syrup, etc.-- all chemicals that are very harmful

to my system.

Does WF keep the probiotics refrigerated? WF would be a relatively convenient place for me to buy them.

After I had a major stomach operation a couple of weeks ago, my nurse told me to take a probiotic. She said to try to use only refrigerated versions.

A relative bought Theralac at a Vitamin Express for me; it's label says it contains no yeast, eggs, corn, soy, gluten, wheat, casein, salt, or beef products. $36 for 30 capsules. I think Vitamin Express is pretty far from where we live, and my supply will last only a couple of weeks at the dosage level my nurse recommended.

I've never before taken a probiotic.

Yes, probiotics should be refrigerated because they are live, active cultures.I do have a question for those that buy them online: How does the probiotic remain cold if it's being shipped? I cannot afford to buy them anymore from my ND-- it's an amazing brand/ quality, and in powder formula which is much better for me.  However, it is $60.00.

I looked into Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics 12 Plus by Essential Formulas, 60 capsules and am wondering if 1) they come in powder formula 2) how are you getting live cultures if it's not refrigerated during the shipping process? can you buy this brand anywhere in SJ, that cost around $30.00??

Who knows about the macrobiotic diet? I recently found out that I have a severe dairy allergy in addition to gluten and nuts and some other things.Thank you!!!AmiraOn Sat, Aug 8, 2009 at 1:40 PM, Harper <flatcat9@...> wrote:

I saw an ad today for some probiotic which says " does not need to be

refrigerated " ... I assume the ones that people buy in the mail are ok

for the length of time they are not refrigerated. A good question to

pose to the manufacturer, however.

Makes sense. thanks! I need the highest quality powder formula of an over-the-counter probiotic. I cannot afford the brand from my ND anymore.  It's $65.00 a bottle! I heard from another member tha Dr. Ohhira's Probiotic is good, but the company said no refrigeration is necessary, which causes me more confusion http://www.mynaturalmarket.com/dr-ohhira-s-probiotics-12-plus-by-essential-formulas-60-capsules.html?gclid=CJb3_v_2lJwCFRZCagod8wqQcw

My gut has some major repairing to do, after consuming dairy and large amounts of wheat for 13 years, where I didn't get diagnosed until this year and last week re: the dairy.I need to order the probiotic asap. thank you!!!

About

2 months ago I started taking probiotics again. I tried them for the

first time in 2006 but stopped when I was going through other allergen issues

& tests. I take Primal Defense Ultra Ultimate Probiotic

Formula. I bought them from Staff of Life (santa cruz) in their separate

vitamin store, but have found them in “Way of Life” (41st

Ave New Leaf separate store) and s Valley Market. The salesman at my

original purchase explained how/why the probiotics do not need to be

refrigerated. They’ve helped a lot. I think I pay $36

for 90 capsules.

What quantities do some of you take? I've seen capsules with 90 billion thingies and others with only 4 billion. I don't know what a reasonable dose is.

My nurse says to just go with the recommended dosage on the bottle, as each probiotic is unique, proprietary. I'll follow her advice, but I'd like to know what others take.

I was taking a really great brand/ formula from my ND but I don't have the bottle anymore to see get the specs.  I'm looking for a higher probiotic dosage and find that Dr. Ohhira's brand even has vitamins, etc added which seems pretty awesome. I haven't bought anything yet but need in the next day or so.

It's difficult making supplement decisions since there's so much info out there. Is there a non-biased research company that rates the quality of brand name companies?Amira
