According to their website, all Vicks products are gluten-free (this includes Dayquil and Nyquil). I use the Dayquil Sinus pills with no problem.

I hope you feel better soon!

Sudafed sinus and cold works well. I also use AYR Saline sinus rinse twice a day, it really "washes" out the sinuses. Hope you feel better.

neti pot (aka sinus rinse, or nasal lavage) can be very useful. getting plenty of exercise and sleep are also good preventatives, along with good nutrition. I know it sounds vague, general, and not direct, but it really is as basic as "get moderate intensity exercise every day" and "get at least 7 hours of sleep" (or thereabouts) every night to keep the immune system functioning well. no, it doesn't mean you'll never catch a cold, but it lowers your chances of getting one or of staying sick for very long.

I take Benadryl because if I don't I get sinus infections from colds.

I also irrigate my sinuses with salt water.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      I’m reading that some sites list a high Immunoglobulin A result for my age above 300, another site says above 356, and other sites are saying above 400. I don’t know what to make of this result 🤷‍♂️

      You got some bum steers my friend. I have little confidence that you can trust your test results as differentiating between NCGS and celiac disease. And I think you would be much more likely to have gotten that note you need if you had been diagnosed with celiac disease. But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating...

      For the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, they said 7 days of gluten. So I did 8...fast food and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. For the earlier blood test, the younger doctor said I didn't have to. My immune system went down, I was in the bathroom a lot, and as my wife said my brain wasn't braining.

      How long was your gluten challenge? I hope it was longer than a week. If not, your testing was likely invalid. Recently upgraded guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks prior to either the blood antibody test draw or the endoscopy/biopsy. And...

But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating the gluten challenge. We have heard this story many times on this forum. People experiment with the gluten free diet before getting an official diagnosis and then cannot tolerate the gluten challenge later on when they seek an official diagnosis.

Recently upgraded guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks prior to either the blood antibody test draw or the endoscopy/biopsy. And if you had been gluten free for all those years, you likely had lost any tolerance to gluten you may have had when consuming it regularly. That's probably why it was such a tough sledding experience. Before I was diagnosed, I had very minor GI symptoms. Now, after many years of being gluten free, I get violently ill for hours if I get a good slug of gluten, like when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with the gluten free ones she made me.
