Nasal Allergies!

[AmandaD]

They're awful right now. I just called Claritin and they told me ALL of their products are gluten-free.

Did the rest of you know those - or do you use their products?

[plantime]

Claritin doesn't touch mine. I use chlorpheniramine maleate. It's an older drug, otc, and cheap!

I use Claritan--I've used it for many years.

I switched to Zyrtec a year or two ago and no problem. My youngest son is now on it (not that he has gluten issues) but those are his last drugs before allergy shots like mom--5 year now. I figure I have about 2-3 more years left then I am DONE!!! But, boy, what a difference!!! It just took a while for them to work on me and to find the right dose and then, you won't believe it, but I developed new allergies about 2 years into the shots so they had to give me new stuff.

Not curative, but interesting:

I read that if you eat honey from your local bees, you can diminish pollen allergies. I don't know if it's true - honey gives me a belly ache and I don't think I have pollen allergies other than cottonwood. Buggery little puffs!

I use(d) Allegra but have not needed them since going gluten-free. I need to find out if they are gluten-free.

Allegra is gluten-free, I called earlier this year.

I use Nasaleze after I had to go off medicated ones.

I use the local, wildflower honey (which of course has much better flavor) for all my baking, teas, sausage, etc. and I have their lipbalm...I figure every little bit helps.
