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.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
