Hayfever/allergy Meds

Hello all:

I am either coming down with a cold or having Spring allergy symptoms or both. I usually get a little eye watering and some sneezing but this is a little more annoying. It may be that I am not "detoxing" but it's affecting my life and I need to take some meds to at least alleviate the watery eyes and the sniffling and sneezing.

Can anyone recommend a safe anti-histimine that won't completely knock me out and make me drowsy?

I really have no idea about meds like this but I think I have to do something now to prevent myself from going a bit crazy.

Many thanks, as always,

~Allison

Last time I checked, Clartin is fine, EXCEPT the reditabs. There is a starch in them that they can not confirm is gluten free from their supplier.

I will make a note of that for when I go pick some up tonight.

Thank you very much!

All Claritin products are gluten-free, per a rep via phone 4/28/10.

I use Zyrtec- I react to the lactose in Clariton- Booo. But very thankful for Zyrtec- which is gluten free!

I also use Zyrtec. I called to confirm they were gluten-free last month. i take the original 10mg, but they also said the new gel tabs were also gluten-free. I take mine before bed, to avoid getting drowsy. And I am not sure about other, but for me, I need to take it for a week before I get used to it. Those first few days, I am very spacey, but once I get through that week, it is good :)

It's a really bad year for allergies. Seems like the whole world is sniffling and wiping watery eyes lately!! :(

Yep, record year for allergies. I take Zyrtec (gluten free and safe during pregnancy), and it tends to help, but I've had worse allergy problems in the past and want to encourage you to try other options (like claritin, prescription nasal sprays, and even benadryl) that have their time and place (the nasal sprays and benadryl I use separately, when specifically warranted. Of course, learning when that is for YOU is a matter of trial and error that I can't really help with. :/ )

It does seem that way!!

I ended up with tylenol allergy and it kind of does the trick, so far, though it makes me very sleepy.

I've done well so far and I am going to stop taking them until I need them again.

Thanks for the reply, Tarnalberry.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins. I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items. Both were purchased from Amazon. 1. Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2. Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +
