Here's a link to an abstract of that "study" of, would you believe, TEN "healthy" people, whose counts of probiotics in their "guts" decreased, while they were eating gluten-free. (I wonder how healthily or un-healthily they ate, while going gluten-free!)

Here's an easy solution to that problem:

While going gluten-free, take milk-free PROBIOTICS (acidophilus, bifidus, etc.), preferably without FOS's (fructo-oligo-saccharides), which (the FOS's)feed not only the beneficial bacteria/probiotics, but also feed bad bacteria, leading to digestive disturbances, reflux, etc.

I also have included some "tips" that I've learned over the years, from Cara and others, about how to painlessly go gluten-free, without any adverse health effects at all! See webpage 10 of my website, for links to gluten-free websites, and this includes this wonderful forum here... 'Neurotalk' !
