Cold Meds

Hi BAF

I have a real bad cold, wanted to know what people with WLS are using as a cold medication. Im usually a NyQuil taker, but I was advised not to use it because the alcohol content in it may cause me to dump.

I feel real crummy!! Head ache, body ache, sore throat and stuffy nose. Not trying to be sick over the holiday This liquid Tylenol aint doing it for me!

And suggestions?

I was using the walmart brand dayquil andy tylenol and I did not dump at all. I am 3 years out. hope you feel better.

Get the sugar free liquid cold medicine.  You shouldn't dump on that.  Most liquid cold medicines have a high sugar content.

wow, that sucks. i use to get sick one week before thanksgiving every year for about 6-7 years, luckily i haven't had a cold/flu in about 3 years, don't know if its luck, or a change in habits.

i find that bombarding my body with high levels of nutrients/ minerals and zinc supplements has helped immensely.....(even at the slight hint of a cold),....."naked" juice(green) makes a good drink, and multi-vits......hopefully this helps your body fight the infection naturally.............hope u feel better soon, take care

I swear by Alka Seltzer Plus Cold...its awesome!!! It will put you straight to sleep though and you'll wake up feeling much better. I only take 1 tablet instead of two..

I'm a little late, but yes I'm Raven Raven...I think! lolol
