Does anybody have a recommendation for relieving sinus pressure? I am looking for a nasal spray, was going to try Flonase. I’m going to go look for a nedi pod but I was hoping to find a spray

If you want immediate relief pick up a spray that has real decongestant in it. Because addicts by them in quantities to distill the active ingredient from them for a high, you might not see them over the counter these days so you may have to ask for it.

The steroid nasal sprays like Flonase take two to three days to take effect, I believe.

Okay, thank you

If you have a Sam’s Club near you, they have Flonase and their own Member’s Mark brand that is much cheaper.

I use Nasacort 24 hr. I tried Flonase...but its scent actually triggered my allergies. I was told by a medical professional that Afrin can work short term.

you can develope a dependency on Afrin if you use it alot, that's why they say short term.

Flonase did the job, thank you all for your input.  I will keep Afrin in mind for next time though!

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!

      Welcome to the forum, @Rejoicephd, I found the Autoimmune Protocol diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) extremely helpful in getting my health back.  The AIP diet is very strict, removing any possibly irritating foods and allowing time for the digestive tract to heal, then other foods are added back in with less risk of reaction.   Keep us posted on your progress!
