New Probiotic on Market: L Reuteri NCIMB 30242 (ONLY)

There are eight PubMed studies on this strain.

Significantly changes the size and composition of the circulating bile acid [2015]
a greater proportion of L. reuteri-treated subjects showed improved general GI health status (p = 0.042) and improved diarrhea symptoms (p = 0.03). [2013]
the first report of increased circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D in response to oral probiotic supplementation[2013]

For general information about L.Reuteri see my earlier post.

Available from manufacturer and on Amazon.

This stain is also sold as Cardioviva on amazon

I have just ordered some myself.

I believe that lot of us with ME/CFS (or whatever you fancy calling it now) have high and sometimes very high levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D … so I am assuming L Reuteri would be a bad idea? Have I got that wrong?

  I believe you are incorrect. High level of active Vitamin D (1-25D , not 25D) is seen with most autoimmune diseases. The level goes up and down with symptoms. I had very high during my last relapse (so high, that the lab re-did the test because they thought they had made a processing error). As remission happen, this dropped down to normal levels. This is 1-25D level which is rarely measured.
  
  With 25-D, CFS and FM patients have low or very low levels. A German physician found that some CFS patients went into remission by just supplementing with Vitamin D.
  
  Other studies found that the degree and severity of symptoms decrease as vitamin D levels increase. My recommendation (to be discussed with your knowledgable health professional) is to go for the very TOP of the normal range. This will often require 15000 – 25000 IU/day depending on age and other factors.
  
  I read the increase of Vitamin D by this probiotic as a very good outcome. It is likely replacing some gut bacteria that has been loss due to CFS/FM and may help with restoring a healthy gut (and remission from CFS/FM).

Do you take vitamin K2 with vitamin D? Also, are you concerned about the titanium dioxide in the probiotics?

  I purchase some of this from the manufacturer nearly 2 weeks ago. I did not receive and email confirmation from them that they had received my order. I checked my paypal account and the money had in fact gone through to them so I emailed them and explained and asked if they did have my order etc … and they have ignored my email … so they have my money and I have no idea if they intend sending my order or not …. I hate bad customer service!

    I ordered via Amazon — price was similar and free-delivery because of being on Prime. It arrived on time (2 days).
