Somehow I have come down with a cold or something. I have a nagging cough, sinus congestion, extremely sore throat. Was up all night last night coughing and blowing my nose. I had some halls cough drops but they weren't cutting it. I have upped my vitamin C and I'm drinking lots of liquids to try to fight this thing, but I think I'm going to need an OTC drug. I hate drugs. I only take as a last resort. I am very sensitive so something that I can safely take half of the recommended dose of would be good. I know how to do a search, but my head is too foggy and I'm too tired, please tell me some OTC drugs that are gluten free and soy free would be good too, but in this state I will risk the soy. Thanks in Advance.

PS: I know all the natural remedies, have neti pot, tea with honey, etc.

My son loved the neti pot when he had his last cold. He said it was "amazing" www.glutenfreedrugs.com has a list of gluten-free cold meds. I think they are under both list and the alpha list.

Thanks sending Hubby to the store soon. Will make him choose somethign from the list. I just can't think straight. Too tired and need to get all this junk out of my lungs so I can breath. I really need a nighttime cough and cold drug so I can sleep tonight.

I use NyQuil & I've never had a reaction to it. I'm pretty senstive. None of their products contain gluten. Check out their website.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.
