Hey Glen, I was wondering if you had any recommendations for a good probiotic without lactose. I've been using the Probiotics Plus for a while with good success, but I believe it isn't the best choice for me because I have problems digesting lactose and the Probiotics Plus contains a bit of lactose.
Thanks,
Jesse
Hello Jesse,
Good to hear from you...
If you are reacting well to the Probiotics Plus I would stick with it. The lactose is from a raw goat dairy that generally does not cause the same negative effects that cows millk can.

Yeah Glen, I'm back from the dead :). I was very sick for a while back there, but once I figured out that gluten was what was making me sick, I've been getting better ever since and now I have energy to post on this forum and do all sorts of other things :).
You're probably right and I should stick with Probiotics Plus. I do have a very low tolerance for lactose though, so I've been trying to limit it as much as possible in my diet. I get gastrointestinal upsets from even the small amounts in raw cream. Right now to get my calcium and the additional fat I need, I've been sticking to raw butter and raw cheese because they are both very low in lactose. I seem to tolerate both of these well.
Welcome back from the struggles and I am happy to hear that you have been able to figure out the gluten intolerance. That is always a huge help to have that information.
Talk to you soon!
