HELP!

Me wife is sposed to sing THIS WEEKEND in a massive production at the church and has lost her voice. I think I rember that honey in herbal tea helps, but do not remember which herb? We have Apple Cinnamon tea from Cestrail Seasonings which we added honey too, but if I run to the store what tea should I look for? We are a completely gluten-free house so it has to be gluten-free.

Thanks!

I get a tea from Traditional Medicinals called Throat Coat... it has slippery elm bark in it...

Do any of your products contain gluten?

Celiac patients are advised to avoid food ingredients containing gluten and/or its derivatives (e.g. gliadin). Certain grains such as barley, oat, rye and wheat contain proteins that are composed of prolamins and/or glutelins. None of Traditional Medicinals products contain any wheat or rye, or their derivatives. The following two Traditional Medicinals products contain barley grain or oatstraw and therefore the tea infusion prepared from them may contain a small amount of naturally occurring gliadin or gluten:

• PMS Tea

I like THroat Coat, and a similar tea by Stash called Licorice Tea-very soothing! In fact, I think just about any licorice tea I have tried has been good, and I don't recall reacting to any of them. Good luck!

I get catnip herb at the health food store and boil it up and strain it for a tea. Great for colds and sore throat.

I'm a hot water, lemon juice and honey person. Works like a charm. The warmth soothes and the lemon cleans you out while the honey coats it. I also drink this cold when I feel like a cold is coming on and it usually prevents me from getting sick. Plus the lemon has lots of Vitamin C.

My family's good old-fashioned remedy for everything ear, nose, and throat related are Hot Toddy's.

Tea, honey, lemon juice, and a healthy shot of whiskey

Tastes like lighter fluid but works like a charm! :P

forgot to mention, my mom always made me gargle with warm salt water whenever I had a sore throat or lost voice... especially if I had a choral performance... My choral director always said that even if you lost your speaking voice, that you should still be able to sing, and that practicing singing "usually" brings back your speaking voice... I don't know that he was entirely right, but it did seem to work sometimes!

My wife is a second soprano but has not been able to get above a G because of this. :(

gargle salt water, that is the best way to get your voice back for a show. In my theatre if someone gets sick, we all used to do that so we wouldn't loose our voice. It really does help your voice, yet it tastes nasty!

Try this GREAT tea....I use it all the time to cure a sore throat

ingredients

fresh ginger root (about a one inch piece, peeled)

honey (to taste)

lemon juice (5 drops per cup)

method

Take the the peeled ginger root and slice it thinly into a half dozen pieces or so.

Add this root to about one litre of boiling water in a small sauce pan. (I usually run my water through a Brita filter first...tastes better). Boil for 20 MINUTES.

pour the result (less ginger pieces) into your mug(s). Add a generous portion of honey (one full tsp does it for me) and 5 drops of lemon juice.

This makes a VERY satisfying drink that cures sore throats for me and my son who loves it too. You can even reheat the juice if you don't finish all of it, in a microwave, add the honey/lemon juice and have another cup later.

Brew this Ginger tea and it will help you a lot. Ginger has a lot of anti-inflamatory properties.

With you on that one...I overload on the honey...very soothing.

I second the ginger!! I like Alvita Ginger Root Tea with honey. The ginger is so healing for a sore throat and is also great for colds and an upset stomach. I can usually find the tea at my health food store. I usually try to keep a box on hand for emergencies!!

Hope she gets to feeling better soon.

Thanks all. Kroger actaully had the throat coat, they must have recently added it cause I do not recall seeing any teas at all in that section so she is trying that and the salt water.

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
