We examined a promising new probiotic preparation designed to break down gluten and assist people with celiac disease. Our study included a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial with 70 volunteers over a 42-day period, where participants consumed increasing amounts of gluten following a gluten-free diet.
Those who took the probiotics showed significantly lower levels of residual gluten in their feces compared to the placebo group. Additionally, the probiotics appeared to enhance gut microbiota health, promoting beneficial microbial communities. However, despite these findings, we must proceed cautiously, as the overall impact on celiac disease management remains to be fully determined.

We explored the effects of Bacillus subtilis LZU-GM, a probiotic isolated from traditional Pakistani sourdough, on gluten-related issues in celiac disease. Remarkably, this strain degraded 73.7% of gluten in lab tests and showed threefold more gluten breakdown in mice models compared to untreated groups.
However, while it improved gut health by promoting beneficial bacteria, and reducing inflammatory markers, it didn't eliminate the formation of antibodies associated with gluten sensitivity. Thus, we found that although LZU-GM has potential, it may not be a complete solution for managing celiac disease.

Probiotic shows potential in celiac
We explored whether Acetobacter ghanensis could reduce gliadin-induced toxicity in intestinal cells from celiac disease patients. Using a cell culture model, we found that gliadin disrupts the intestinal barrier and raises inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNFα. However, when A. ghanensis was introduced, it showed potential in restoring barrier function and digesting gluten peptides. This study highlights A. ghanensis as a promising candidate for improving gut health in those affected by celiac disease, although more research is needed to confirm these findings.

Restored gut health
An excellent remedy for sensitive tummies, it is soy-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free—everything needed for a moody digestive system. After my child experienced digestive issues due to long courses of antibiotics, this product helped restore normal stool consistency and digestion. The results were much more effective and lasting compared to previous remedies from Russia. We will continue to purchase this for preventive care.

Effective cleansing
After a long search, I found this product and I am truly impressed. The ingredients are clean and gluten-free, and the large portion size aids digestion and boosts the beneficial bacteria in my intestines. I really like it.

Improved digestion
I've recently been a huge fan of NOW Foods' 8 billion probiotic vegetarian capsules! These capsules are dairy-free, soy-free, and gluten-free, which suits my dietary habits perfectly. The lactobacillus NCFM (La-14) helps bolster my immune system and improves my digestive health. The strain Bifidobacterium lactis (BL-04) is fantastic for reducing respiratory infections, while Bifidobacterium longum (Bl-05) alleviates allergy symptoms, which is great for someone like me who often suffers from allergies. I appreciate that it's non-GMO and comes from NOW Foods, a reputable family business. Following the recommended dosage of 1 capsule, 1 to 2 times daily, has truly enhanced my well-being and digestion. Although it arrived without the expected cold chain packaging, the overall effectiveness has led me to feel confident in its quality.

Brazilian cassava cultivars enhance probiotics
We examined the prebiotic effects of Brazilian cassava cultivars on celiac individuals. Focusing on two selected varieties, OUR and UPI, we observed their ability to promote growth in beneficial probiotic strains. This was evident in the increased population of helpful bacteria compared to established prebiotics like fructooligosaccharides. Our findings indicate that these cassava cultivars can positively influence the gut microbiota in celiacs, suggesting their potential use as prebiotic ingredients in functional foods and supplements.

We investigated the effectiveness of the NLS super strain (NLS-SS) probiotic on alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with celiac disease (CD) who have been on a gluten-free diet for at least two years. Through a carefully designed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we found that those with severe symptoms experienced improved relief from their CD symptoms after taking NLS-SS.
This probiotic also influenced gut microbiota diversity in these patients without significant side effects. While promising, more extensive studies are necessary to fully validate these results.
