Vick's Nyquil

I thought I read somewhere that Vick's multi-symptom liquid, cherry flavor NyQuil, is gluten-free, but since I've had to take it over these past few days I've had increased stomach trouble that reminds me of my gluten symptoms. It's made by Proctor and Gamble, and they are nearly impossible to get a hold of over the phone (on hold forever, finally gave up.) Does anyone know absolutely for sure if it's ok? It has "flavor" as well as "alcohol" in the ingredients, and that has me concerned, too. Thanks,

gillian

I would be nervous to use that Gillian. It's not on the list of okay things on www.glutenfreedrugs.com.

From the updated Delphi list:

Vick's (P&G) (800.362.1683) (ve=11/20/02)

Per email from Company...there is no gluten in any Vick

Well that's good news! Maybe I should stop using the www.glutenfreedrugs.com and stay will Delphi. They seem to be the best resource for all categories now....

Whew! This thread scared me... I just took some last night!!! Thanks for the info. Kaiti. I thought it was gluten-free ~ thanks for confirmig it! :)

Guest gillian502

Whew! Scared me, too, for a second. Good to know Vick's doesn't have gluten in anything. I've seen other Vick's products listed as gluten-free but never saw the NyQuil listed. Thanks

Remember, though, Karen, that it may not be the same in Canada. Mireille might be able to direct you to a good list like this one for Canada. I think the list Delphi provides only applies to the US :(

Actually NyQuil is on the list, but they spelled it incorrectly as Niquil (Celiac.com's med list also mispelled it this way), but I believe they mean the same Vicks product. Vicks products (including NyQuil) is on the other gluten-free med list I also use. I use the NyQuil liquid filled tablets as my primary cold/flu remedy to help me sleep better and I haven't had any gluten reaction to them. I can NOT use the liquid, it always gives me a stomachache. I believe it is the alcohol that bothers me, even if it is gluten-free...the tablets don't bother me at all.

God bless,

Mariann

Thanks Marian, I'm really having a hard time with the liquid. I would just swear it's gluten in there the way my stomach has regressed back to its previous condition! lol, but I guess that can't be true if everyone here has checked it out and says it's ok. It's really doing a number on me, though. Think in the future I'll go with the tablets as you mentioned.

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
