OTC pain reliever that are gluten-free and corn free??

[trsprecker]

I am celiac with corn and tree nut allergies.  I am finding it difficult to find OTC pain reliever that are safe for me.  Any suggestions?  I also do not tolerate any artificial sweeteners including stevia and agave.  

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, @trsprecker,

I needed daily pain relief for three crushed vertebrae and found out that Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Cobalamin (Vitamins B 1, B 6, and B12) have an analgesic effect.

This is the one I order through that big online store... It's made in Japan.  I've been taking it for a couple of years now without problems.  

GSG 12X Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets

I don't do corn, nuts nor artificial sweeteners, either!   

Keep us posted on your progress!

Thank you!  I will have to look into that.  I have Anklosing Spondylitis, bulging and dehydrated discs so pain is a big part of my life.

Bless your heart!  That does make for a bumpy journey! 

The Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus really works well for pain relief.  I was surprised at how well it works.  I can't recommend it enough.  I can't tolerate aspirin nor nsaids.  

Are you getting enough Omega Threes in your diet?  Healthy fats like olive oil help keep our discs and joints healthy and fluid.

I definitely try to get those in my diet.  There is most likely a genetic component to the issues.  Thank you so much for the advice!!

You could try white willow bark, but make sure it's in a safe dosage range.  Herbs aren't regulated the way prescriptions are.  White willow bark works a lot like aspirin but is often milder on the stomach.  I used to use Nature's Way white willow bark.  I was told it was corn free at that time.  Double check with the manufacturer to make sure it's free of any of any allergens you're concerned with.
