Mucinex

With all these allergies this year and just getting over/still fighting a sinus infection I really would love to get some Mucinex. I've found conflicting info on whether it's gluten-free and not much of it very recent. Of course it's Saturday too and the company's closed. Anyone have any recent info or take it and have effects or not have effects? Thanks so much!!

I just googled "Mucinex gluten free" and came up with this link, which shows it listed as gluten free. Open Original Shared Link The list was updated on 5/7/10.

Glutenfreedrugs is a very helpful list to consult for lots of different meds, including OTC. Hope this helps...

I have been taking Mucinex for years with no problem. I also have taken the Costco (Kirkland) version (which is different - it's not time-released) with no problems. The Kirkland version is a lot cheaper, but you have to take it every 4 hours.

My Celiac dietitian told me yesterday that my recurrent sinus/allergy problems is a vitamin A deficiency due to Celiac. Wild, huh?

Yeah. Last time I took it, it was.

Thanks so much for all your help! It can get so frustrating not being able to just take anything, as you all know.

And, that's interesting about a vitamin A deficiency. I just started upping my intake of carrots, specifically organic carrot juice. I knew I didn't get enough A & C. It's all very interesting. I do know about the link between low vitamin D and increased allergy symptoms. My son and a friend have been dealing with this recently and their drs mentioned this.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
