Mullein is also excellent for producing Cough Syrup, specifically for dry coughs. It possesses a soothing demulcent for the respiratory system. ‘Demulcent’ means a herb wealthy in mucilage that is soothing and in this situation is also delightful!.When you feel the leaves of Mullein they really feel wonderfully soft and silky which is a certain sign that the leaves have mucilage. Mucilage, although it sounds disgusting, is excellent stuff as it coats and protects mucous membranes lining the gut and respiratory system…

I have to wonder if some who are reacting to “corn gluten” containing products are in fact allergic to the corn itself. It’s not uncommon and we are bombarded with corn additives these days. Too much of any one ingredient is bound to cause trouble for some.

Lengerd, there is no law that states that medicines (OTC or prescription) have to state any allergens on their ingredient labels. There are people trying to get this law changed (including Steve Plogsted).

Jules, please reword the end of your article, I think you’re confusing your readers. My recommendation:

“So, according to Pfizer, whether it makes sense or not, ONE of their cold and cough medicines contains corn gluten:Robitussin® Peak Cold Maximum Strength Cough + Chest Congestion DM, but none of their medications contain wheat gluten.”

Liza – that’s such a testimonial to a healthier life! If we could all aspire to/try to get off medications … I wonder what other problems might disappear! It’s so amazing the difference the right diet makes, but if you’re still getting “glutened,” or small amounts of other food allergens are slipping through in your medications, you can never reap the full rewards of a healthy life. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences!

It is even tougher if you have soy, dairy, egg and other concurrent issues. An ER doc told me that many prescription meds..especially any in white tablet form…can have gluten, soy, dairy or egg. Getting inserts they give just to MDs sometimes helps..almost impossible to get the company to tell you the truth..pharmacies often don’t know. But when I tapered off/dropped assorted asthma meds he warned me about, 99% of my allergic responses ceased..along with the proper diet of course! Now we use prevention and rarely get sick…extra vitamin D, silver, fresh juicing, etc.

Stephanie, first off, so sorry you’re feeling terrible! I guess cold & flu season really are upon us! Secondly, I really don’t think they know what they’re talking about, because I’ve never heard of an instance of corn syrup containing wheat! That being said, some folks have reported that they believe they were glutened by this product. Additionally, when companies don’t seem to know which way is up with regard to gluten and contamination, my recommendation is to steer clear. There are plenty of other safe choices. Feel better soon!
