i've never posted on here... so i hope i'm doing this right/in the right place.... but i was wondering if anybody knew of any cough drops/medicines that are definitely gluten-free? i've had celiacs for over a year and this is the first time i have a cold and cough bad enough where i should take something. so many products either don't say or when i check their website or call say they can't guarantee it's gluten-free, so i would feel much better hearing from someone who's tried a product and been fine!

any help appreciated.. thank you!!

Welcome to the forum. I can't help you with your quest as I never take anything for coughs or colds. I might take Buckley's if my cough is dry but never for a wet productive cough. I don't like to interfere with the bodies natural battle against the virus making me sick. Besides I've often reacted poorly to alot of medications. Hope you feel better soon. Most viruses run their course in 7 to 10 days but I know that there are some viruses out there that have lasted for many weeks. Get lots of rest and keep up your water intake, that is the best way to help heal your body.

If you have congestion, regular sudafed is gluten free. I would die without it.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
