Im gluten-free/Cf and I had some Pamela's brownies last weekend. I got like a cold with my sinuses all plugged up and throat sore, It is allergy season and Im wondering if it was just a cold or my allergies or an allergic reaction to the brownies. The package is called Irresistable Brownie Mix and I just wanted to know if anyone had a problem with them.

Pamela's website says the brownie mix is milk-free. This link below lists the ingredients/allergens in the mix if that helps. Sometimes a product can produce a sinus reaction...try and track the ingredients and see if you get a similar reaction when eating another product. However, as I am typing this I do have my second sinus infection since Feb :( so, it has been a bad year for allergies etc. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks Jen,

I saw that link too, and was a little confused. If you look at the brownie mix,it has a little astreick, I think

(that's where I am confused)it says on the bottom of the page...may contain milk proteins due to manufacturing process.

I also forgot to mention, another symptom, constipation. I always had this before going gluten free and this is the first time I have had it again, since i went gluten-free/cf.

Please, I hope the brownies are okay, and I am not reading that whole littel astreick thingy on the bottom of their chart wrong. I loovvve their brownies... :P

You are right on! It may contain traces of a milk protien and that might have been enough to set you off. I am in the same boat you are. Try the Gluten Free Pantry chocolate truffle brownies... just made them last night ...m...m.mmmm.mmmmm.mmm

the truffle brownies are really good. those are what i eat when in need of a major chocolate fix, i usually don't like chocolate, but since going casein free, i miss it a lot more than i though i would.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
