Hi there
I was tested for the celiac antibodies, but it had been about 3 months since I had had any gluten and it came back negative, but I don’t know if that is accurate. According to a genetic test I had done, I am 3 x more suseptinle to celiac than the average population. In my research, gluten is nad for everyone so its a no brainer for me to cut it out at least temporarily as I try to get my health into control
@Trudy, Which probiotic do you use. I have been using align but don't see any benefits.
I go to my local Health Food store for my probiotic capsules, which they keep refrigerated. Once purchased, they need to continue to be refrigerated. While they are relatively expensive, they are worth it to me. The capsule I use is by Nature's Way, which is called "Primadophilus, Original". The two strains it contains are:
Lactobacillus Rhamnosis
Lactobacillus Acidophilus
When I was talking to lh378 about probiotics, I was curious to see what I could find on the internet and googled: "Probiotics, Lactose Intolerance". There is not universal agreement on whether or not or how much probiotics help. Scanning some of the articles that google showed, I saw three strains mentioned as good for preventing lactose intolerance, so if you look for a probiotic for yourself, you might look for these:
Lactobacillus Acidophilus
Lactobacilus Bulgaricus
Bifidobactotium Longum

@Trudy, Thanks a ton for sharing the info !
I will try my luck at local stores here.
Hey Rahul,
The first test that came up positive for GAD65 was 3.4 (not sure on units). When my GAD65 came back negative about a year later, I would say my blood sugars were actually better... I was reducing my insulin because of all of the lows I was having! Then, I took some antiparasitic meds and started having digestive issues and well, since then it's been more status quo.
@AskHealthy, Thanks !
