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.

      gluten free cookie recipes

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I know it's after the holidays, but it would still be fun to do a cookie recipe exchange on this forum.

      No red meat

      By Sheila G. · Posted

      I did talk to the nurse and she asked who told me no red meat.  I explained the person who called with the results of my blood work.  That was last week.  She told me the doctor was on vacation and would be back this week and she would talk to him and have someone call me this week.  I have not received a call yet.  I will call them back Monday as a reminder.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I shop a fair bit with Azure Standard. I bought Teff flour there and like it. they have a lot of items on your list but probably no soy flour, at least not by that name. https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/flour/teff/brown/teff-flour-brown-unifine-gluten-free/11211?package=FL294 As mentioned in another answer, Palouse is a high quality brand for dry beans, peas and other stuff. I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.

      fwiw, I add nutritional yeast to some of my recipes. since going gluten free I eat almost no processed foods but I imagine you could sprinkle yeast on top.

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues.  The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves dysphagia, and with Omega Threes, Sjogren's, and PCOS.     (300 mg/day) The other B vitamins are needed as well because they all work together like an orchestra.   The fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, are needed as well.  Low Vitamin D is common in both PCOS and Celiac and depression.   Deficiencies in Niacin Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, Folate B 9, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D can cause mental health issues.   I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants.  My mental health issues didn't get better until my vitamin deficiencies were corrected and a gluten free keto/paleo diet adopted.   Though blood tests are not really accurate, you may want to get tested for deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise you'll be measuring the vitamins you've taken and blood tests will show blood levels that are too high. Yes, Thiamine TTFD and the other vitamins are available over-the-counter.  A B Complex with additional Thiamine TTFD and Niacin made a big difference to my health.  I follow a paleo diet, and make sure I get Omega Threes.  I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my deficiency there.   I've run through the mental health gamut if you would like to talk about your issues.  You can personal message us if you would be more comfortable.   Interesting Reading: Nutritional and herbal interventions for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a comprehensive review of dietary approaches, macronutrient impact, and herbal medicine in management https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12049039/
