So i might be going to the ERtonight cause of my major problems with whooping cough with bouts every 10 minutes for 2 minutes, and i can't breathe for those 2 minutes, and then i throw up.

So has anyone had it? and what did you do?

Connor had it in November. I ended up having to take him to emerg because he was having difficulty breathing. I did find that the steam shower sucked - it didn't help him at all. What helped him immensely was when I took him out to the van to go to the hospital - the cold air opened things up quickly......

Hope it passes quickly for you - it did for Connor - but man, it can be scary.......

Hugs.

I didn't go to the ER, they said that they could do nothing for me at urgent care, but they were scared that during a coughing attack my o2 sat gets down around 79% which is pretty low...

Going back to the doc today, hoping they can do something, cause all cough drops have corn in them, so i can't have anything like that.

Sorry, Molly I was an infant when I had it, so I can't remember a thing. My Mom said that I wasn't too bad off, but my twin sister and Dad were hospitalized for quite a while.

Karen has a point about the fresh air. They say that about croup, too. Steam shower and then get outside right to the cold night air.

I hope you feel better soon.

The problem with the cold air was last night at 10 it was 69° so there was no cool air, they tried a nebulizer but that just made it worse, cause when you breathe out, the water goes everywhere.

I had Whooping cough when I was about 5 years old. I barely can remember having it but I do know at that time I received no medication but was quarinteened for a couple of weeks until the problem cleared itself up.

There are a few "home remedies" that you can try to help with the symptoms. The first being cabbage soup or tea. It is rich in vitamin C (moreso than oranges) and also has a high sulfur content which would be beneficial. Carrots would also be of great help (maybe mix the two in a soup). Beta-carotene/vitamin A is a natural anti-inflammatory for the mucous membranes so it would ease the cough.

Oil of Oregano would be another option as it is considered a natural broad-spectrum "antibiotic" and has potent antivral and antifungal properties not found in standard antibiotics. You can take it either internally or via vapor steaming (3-6 drops of pure oil in a container of two quarts water that has set for 1 minute after boiling, and breathe vapors).

I would also suggest a good probiotic supplement as well as applying Vick's vapor rub to the soles of the feet, especially at night when coughing is at its worst. Vick's is much more effective that way (has something to do with reflexology).

Hope that you feel better soon.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
