Gluten/sweetener Free Cold Medication?

Thanks to the help of another poster, I realized I am having issues with artificial/natural sweeteners (xylitol, sorbitol, etc) I currently take Zicam, but I realized it has mannitol in it. Can anyone recommend a sweetener free/gluten free cold medication and pain relief? 

 

I don't yet know if I have a corn intolerance, but I am considering the possibility. :(

I can't get it to load at the moment, but have you looked into Vick's Nature Fusion. I know for certain they are gluten free. I believe the liquids are sweetened with honey, not sure if that is a problem for you since you're describing more "chemical" derived, processed sweeteners. They do also have pills though that would probably have such a small amount that it may not be such an issue. It works super well. Not sure how much this helps.

I don't worry about the teeny tiny amount of fake sugar that might be in a coating on a pill. You could probably wash a bit of it off and take it.

Thank you! I'm looking into it. I'm just super confused right now. For example, there is 'sucralose' in the ingredients...I have no idea if I will react to that or not. I posted a question about Gas-X causing me to bloat, (severely, it was terrible) and that turned into a conversation about all of those sugars...xylitol affects me so badly I stopped chewing gum years ago. I know that these sweeteners are (typically) derived from corn. If I do have an issue with corn, then I really can't take any otc medication it seems :(

 

 

Maybe I should look into more natural cold remedies. :( I wanted to start cutting back on corn regardless, due to it (apparently) feeding candida. I wonder if anyone has had any luck with Echinachea? It seems to be natural and even has some anti fungal properties.

 

EDIT: Apparently Echinachea is not recommended for people with auto-immune disorders, hmm. Oh well. :(

Oh...thanks Karen! Lol. I was typing my response for awhile and didn't post it until now - I didn't see yours first.

 

That is an idea. I would love to find more natural remedies, but sometimes medicine is necessary.

      Diabetic 2

      By trents · Posted

      There is no established connection between type 2 diabetes and celiac disease. There is a connection with type 1, however, as about 6% of those with type 1 diabetes also have celiac disease. This rate is 6x that of the celiac rate found in the general population. https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/related-conditions/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/

      Chicken Thighs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is a link to the skin version, and the only ingredients are "chicken": https://www.perduefarms.com/en-US/perdue-bone-in-chicken-thighs-pack/60625.html There should also be ingredients and any allergens listed there on the package.

      Chicken Thighs

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BeeBarnard! I really can't imagine how either skin or skinless chicken thighs could not be gluten free unless one or the other were treated with some seasoning ingredient that was not gluten free. Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the amount of gluten cross contamination found in seasonings is usually inconsequential.

      Chicken Thighs

      By BeeBarnard · Posted

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken is not, but skinless is. Does this seem accurate? Thank you
