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.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
