Cold Medicine

Hello! I have a cold and am trying to find a medicine that is gluten free. The only medicine I've tried since going gluten free is Vicks Nature Fusion because it's labeled gluten free but it doesn't work at all for me. My symptoms are just stuffy/runny nose and sore throat. Can anyone tell me what they take (that can be found in regular drug stores) that they know is safe? Something that is preferably in pill form instead of liquid would be great. Thanks so much!

I use Tylenol and Halls Cough Drops. (not a fan of multi symptom meds)

Have you tried a neti pot? Very helpful:)

I like Boiron Coldcalm. I take it as soon as I feel a symptom and it never develops into a full blown cold so I don't know how it works when your well into it. It is best to put the pills under the tongue 30 min. after no food or drink and then refrain from eating or drinking for 30 min.

I agree-- Coldcalm has worked well for me too. The key with that is to start it at the first sign of a cold. It doesn't seem to help much once the cold has taken hold, but it wouldn't hurt to try it.

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.

      Be careful about how much B6 you take, as it can cause issues if you take too much of it over time.
