I use altoids instead of cough drops. I'm not sure if they are soy and dairy free....but worth a shot. I'm sure the ingredients are online if you want to check them out.

Alot of times sore throats this time of year are due to allergies and allergy drainage......good luck.

Above is what I use: Thayer's Slipperly Elm Lozenges, Cherry. They are gluten and dairy free, but I'm not sure about soy. Don't see soy listed on the ingredients though. Ingredients are: Slippery elm bark, dextrose, magnesium stearate, natural cherry flavor, sucrose, vegetable stearine (binder).

Sorry your throat is sore :(

Hi Judy :D So it's raining over there? It's humid, but sunny here! That could change at any time, though, as they are calling for yet more rain <_< I also use Altoids--a lot of other cough drops and hard candies don't agree with me. They do not have dairy or soy--I checked my box of the Peppermint. Another soothing thing is to warm up some honey and fresh lemon juice, and take that by the spoonful as needed. Good for the "scratchies". Sorry you are still feeling under the weather--sounds like you are coming down with a summer cold :( I'll email later.

I don't think they carry them in the states, but Fisherman's Friends are gluten/dairy free.

BTW--I always get really sore throats when I am stuffy and getting drainage. Feel like I'm getting a sinus infection..had a fever for a few days. Did a nasal rinse (was reminded of on the forum)--hope that helps too !

Anywho--no houses yet. We go in two Saturdays on the 8th. I'm hopeful as there are a few more options for us...but a little worried about making it work. We'll see! Hope throat is better!

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say? do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did it take to get a diagnosis? if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help ...

      @catnapt, I apologize. Obviously I've confused you with someone else. I have vision problems due to undiagnosed Celiac complications. Being legally blind, y'all look the same from here.

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me
