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".

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

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
