Cold Medicine gluten-free & Pg Safe?

Hi all, I am only a month & 3 days pregnant, and I have a terrible head cold. The sinus pressure is very painful. I've tried a saline nose spray, acetaminophen, hot soup, hot tea, hot shower... nothing has helped yet. I keep finding conflicting information about what cold medicines are safe to take during pregnancy. I don't see my DR until Thursday. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any sinus meds that are both gluten-free & safe to take during pregnancy?

Thanks :)

I don't think there is anything you can take. I've had a terrible cold for over 4 weeks now (I'm 14 weeks PG) and neither the docs nor pharmacists will suggest anything other than hot water with lemon and honey. And I swear if I hear that suggestion one more time I may just scream. Ugh!!

I just hope you get over you cold quicker than me! Good luck.

Thanks! My hubby bought me a humidifier/vaporizer last night and it helped a lot with the sinus pain. Still have the yucky cold, but it does provide some relief. If you don't have one, I recommend it! Hope you feel better soon :)

I agree with Ollie's Mom. I've been fighting a head cold for like three weeks now myself and haven't found anything I can take. It's been miserable!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Treen · Posted

      I’m just worried about pre-existing conditions and my imminent loss of insurance. I’m self-employed. Finding insurance outside the ACA marketplace in Alabama is almost impossible even when you’re healthy. I still have 5 years before I’m eligible for Medicare. There is no treatment for Celiac except gluten avoidance. If Celiac disease becomes part of my medical history — even though the ‘treatment’ (gluten avoidance) is ‘free’ (only I can treat myself and it costs my insurance nothing), I might find myself uninsured if something like cancer arises in the next 5 years.

      I had to look up "TVP" and it is this product: https://www.bobsredmill.com/product/tvp-textured-veg-protein What type of test did you use? Was it a mail order kit, if so, what brand, or did you send out samples to be tested at a lab?

      Yes I have 2 eggs per day and I drink one cup of milk the. There's a big family meals which sometimes there is meat or finish or peans or our traditional foods .and then at night I make gluten free cakes which I eat with my protein shake . can you recommend for me things that I can buy and eat alone when I am hungry .do you think black molasses and spirilulina or moringa powder are good if I add them to my diet?

      1000 calories per day is not near enough to sustain your body's needs. You should be aiming for twice that much. You are in a borderline starvation mode and even apart from celiac disease that explains a lot of your medical issues. And you should be aiming for 75-100 gm of protein per day. Do you have access to eggs? Protein powders are good for supplementing protein should not become the main source of dietary protein as they lack any supporting necessary nutrients. Eggs are a nearly complete food, being an excellent source of protein, vitamins and healthy fats.
