Grass-Fed Dairy Products and Natural Probiotics.
There are a lot of different probiotics, called “strains”, in our intestines, and at a relatively high volume. Yoghurt and buttermilk do have these bacteria in them but both the amount, as well as the different types of probiotic strains are very low.
So, yes, it has benefits to consume them, but do it more because you like them, NOT because of their (limited amounts) of benefits. For some people the excessive mucous-forming effects are worse than the benefits of the probiotics.
Celiac Disease Symptoms, and Growing Gluten-Intolerance.
When people with celiac disease eat gluten (which is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley), their body mounts an immune response that attacks and damages the small intestine, especially the villi.
Villi are small fingerlike projections lining the small intestine that promote nutrient absorption. When villi get damaged, nutrients cannot be absorbed properly into the body.

She also explains her thoughts about what customers can expect when walking into a vitamin retail store: the ambiance, service, the need for knowledge on the part of employees and buyers to stay up-to-date on trends.
