I checked a few postings and did not readily see anything , but the past 24-36 hrs , I have been fighting a cold. I've been drinking chicken broth but I am scheduled to work tonight and I don't want to sneeze or cough on everyone and thing. Does anyone know of a gluten-free and dm free cold med? I need dex m or dm ( fixed typo from earlier)free as well as most dm meds make me feel on par with being glutened except I am very special acting. For example the last time I took a dm medication by example I ranked a stats exam, that I should've aced as I was acting borderline drunk W/o the booze. Can't be working on IT things needing to be fast thinking with extreme medicine head.

Lots of cough drops and cold meds of various types are gluten free.  Never heard of "smoke free".

Lol typo big one too. I tried typing dex m free. That's what I get for posting so early.

Dextromethorphan in meds is usually what is labeled DM.  I recommend going to the pharmacy and asking the pharmacist for a recommendation on a cold med without it.  Then you can check for gluten out of those options.  If the DM meds make you feel loopy, you probably want to stay away from pseudoephedrine/sudafed as well.

 

Edit: left some wrong words in there when editing... need cofffeeee

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      mystery gluten?

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Have you had B12 levels checked?

      For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.
