HELP!

Me wife is sposed to sing THIS WEEKEND in a massive production at the church and has lost her voice. I think I rember that honey in herbal tea helps, but do not remember which herb? We have Apple Cinnamon tea from Cestrail Seasonings which we added honey too, but if I run to the store what tea should I look for? We are a completely gluten-free house so it has to be gluten-free.

Thanks!

I get a tea from Traditional Medicinals called Throat Coat... it has slippery elm bark in it...

Do any of your products contain gluten?

Celiac patients are advised to avoid food ingredients containing gluten and/or its derivatives (e.g. gliadin). Certain grains such as barley, oat, rye and wheat contain proteins that are composed of prolamins and/or glutelins. None of Traditional Medicinals products contain any wheat or rye, or their derivatives. The following two Traditional Medicinals products contain barley grain or oatstraw and therefore the tea infusion prepared from them may contain a small amount of naturally occurring gliadin or gluten:

• PMS Tea

I like peppermint tea for my throat. Or you can make regular tea, and put a smidgen of peppermint in it.

I like THroat Coat, and a similar tea by Stash called Licorice Tea-very soothing! In fact, I think just about any licorice tea I have tried has been good, and I don't recall reacting to any of them. Good luck!

I get catnip herb at the health food store and boil it up and strain it for a tea. Great for colds and sore throat.

I'm a hot water, lemon juice and honey person. Works like a charm. The warmth soothes and the lemon cleans you out while the honey coats it. I also drink this cold when I feel like a cold is coming on and it usually prevents me from getting sick. Plus the lemon has lots of Vitamin C.

My family's good old-fashioned remedy for everything ear, nose, and throat related are Hot Toddy's.

Tea, honey, lemon juice, and a healthy shot of whiskey

Tastes like lighter fluid but works like a charm! :P

forgot to mention, my mom always made me gargle with warm salt water whenever I had a sore throat or lost voice... especially if I had a choral performance... My choral director always said that even if you lost your speaking voice, that you should still be able to sing, and that practicing singing "usually" brings back your speaking voice... I don't know that he was entirely right, but it did seem to work sometimes!

My wife is a second soprano but has not been able to get above a G because of this. :(

gargle salt water, that is the best way to get your voice back for a show. In my theatre if someone gets sick, we all used to do that so we wouldn't loose our voice. It really does help your voice, yet it tastes nasty!

Try this GREAT tea....I use it all the time to cure a sore throat

ingredients

fresh ginger root (about a one inch piece, peeled)

honey (to taste)

lemon juice (5 drops per cup)

method

Take the the peeled ginger root and slice it thinly into a half dozen pieces or so.

Add this root to about one litre of boiling water in a small sauce pan. (I usually run my water through a Brita filter first...tastes better). Boil for 20 MINUTES.

pour the result (less ginger pieces) into your mug(s). Add a generous portion of honey (one full tsp does it for me) and 5 drops of lemon juice.

This makes a VERY satisfying drink that cures sore throats for me and my son who loves it too. You can even reheat the juice if you don't finish all of it, in a microwave, add the honey/lemon juice and have another cup later.

Brew this Ginger tea and it will help you a lot. Ginger has a lot of anti-inflamatory properties.

With you on that one...I overload on the honey...very soothing.

I second the ginger!! I like Alvita Ginger Root Tea with honey. The ginger is so healing for a sore throat and is also great for colds and an upset stomach. I can usually find the tea at my health food store. I usually try to keep a box on hand for emergencies!!

Hope she gets to feeling better soon.

Thanks all. Kroger actaully had the throat coat, they must have recently added it cause I do not recall seeing any teas at all in that section so she is trying that and the salt water.

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      Folks, Does anyone know statistically, how common Thyroid issues occur in Coeliacs? Hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's. Thanks in advance.

      Diagnosed with potential Guillain Barre could it be celiac related?

      By Nattific · Posted

      Hello, I am 24, and I got officially diagnosed a few months ago, but I'm nearly positive I've had celiac since childhood. I noticed that with a lot of my reactions, I would have neurological symptoms- dizziness, brain fog, issues with coordination- but it would always go away the farther I got from the reaction. Well, 4 weeks ago, I had my first big exposure in two years. I got a salad from work, asked for grilled chicken, they put breaded chicken on, and put on a lot of dressing, so I couldn't tell until I was bout 50% finished eating it. I had all my regular miserable symptoms, diarrhea, vomiting, bloating, joint pain- all the works. But then, right around when the GI symptoms stopped, I developed neurological symptoms. I started feeling dizzy, and then the dizziness progressed to numbness in my legs, then weakness to the point that I fell down stairs. After I fell, I went to the ER, and now I have been admitted with Guillain-Barré. I developed paralysis and lots of issues with my cranial nerves. At its worst, my paralysis went up to my knees, but after 5 days of IVIG treatment, I'm now no longer paralyzed in my legs, just incredibly weak and struggling to walk. The problem is that a lot of my tests are coming back normal, which I'm told can happen with Guillain-Barré, especially this early, so that's my diagnosis, but the other differential diagnosis is "functional neurological disorder." So if my EMG test winds up being negative, it looks like that will be my diagnosis.  I'm wondering if it winds up not being Guillain-Barré, if this could be a rare form of neurological involvement of celiac disease? I don't really agree with the functional neurological disorder differential, as I have no preexisting mental health problems, i actively meditate, go to therapy, and am genuinely a quite calm and pleasant person. Functional neurological disorder seems to be the brain's response to trauma, and is more of a psychiatric condition than a physical one, so I can't help but disagree and be more inclined to think it's a neurological side effect of my diagnosed celiac disease. Just want some opinions.  Also for reference, before all of this happened, I was working as a nurse full-time, enjoying my off days with friends and family, had a vacation planned, and was genuinely doing fine from a mental health standpoint. This also happened right after a reaction, which is leaning me towards celiac disease.  Any opinions are greatly appreciated, thanks friends!

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By lehum · Posted

      Hi Christina, Thanks so much for taking time to answer in detail and share your story, too. It's a good reminder that we all walk different paths -- and that none of them are right or wrong.  It seems like, with time, you've come to be able to identify clearly what your triggers are. I am hoping for this clarity for myself with more time. I am sure it just takes time and lots of experiences. I am 4.5 years in. When my doctor checked my antibodies earlier this year, they were at 8, which was clearly a pretty incredible progress from the 1,118 where they were 4.5 years ago! Because I am working with a different doctor than the one who diagnosed me, he hasn't seen this progress for comparison and just told me I need to be more careful. That felt frustrating. I do not have a dishwasher and I don't share the house with gluten eaters, but that is a great tip for the future, should I live in a place with a dishwasher again! When I moved into my apartment, the oven was already here. Although I don't use the convection setting, cleaned it thoroughly after moving in, and do not share it with gluten eaters, perhaps it would be worth replacing it anyway. It is getting really old as it is...   Thank you again for your response and wishing a lovely Thursday, L

      Hi there, thank you very much for sharing your story. It is a condition that requires our effort, learning, and and attention for a lifetime: always new ways to grow and learn, like you said. And looking at it as a way to learn is a beautiful way of thinking about things; thank you. I have done so. I lived alone at my point of diagnosis and still do; when I found out, I got rid of and replaced everything.

      Hello Scott, Thank you for your incredibly thoughtful and kind response to my post.  It's a great reminder that things are often more than what meets the eye and that social media often isn't an accurate representation of reality.  Reading your response reminds me that I have been very diligent in my healing and in trying to find answers. I suppose some things take a lot of time, patience, a multi-factor approach, and the right combination of factors.  My nutritionist wants me to try avocado in several days because it will have been a week after the whole quinoa-flake-debacle. The idea seems to be waiting until my system has calmed down; problem is, my system isn't calm even when eating the simple foods that I am.  I wonder sometimes if it makes sense to add new things when I won't really be able to tell if I am reacting to the foods or simply continuing to react to what feels like life/my surroundings/the situation, but if I keep waiting, I could be waiting forever. I have also heard that sometimes, the more foods you cut out and the longer you don't eat them, the more things the body tends to become adverse to. This feels like a vicious cycle sometimes. I think the nutritionist is very competent and has my best interests at heart, so I should probably just try it. If you (or anyone else) have any anecdotal comments about this, I would be happy to hear them too.   Thank you, again, for your kind and thoughtful response. It did me a lot of good to read it and to remember that this is not all my fault and I am not alone in my struggles. Very grateful for this online community! Thank you deeply for your work here!
