Sore throat x 2 week: Could be reflux or post nasal drip. Elevate head of bed,discuss use fo ranitidine or prilosec with doctor for reflux,discuss H pylori infection which can worsen reflux (note you have celiac which means compromised GI) discuss use of zyrtec for post nasal drip. Gargle with salt water. Since ear ache consider antibotics(Zpak)-other bugs like mycoplasma can cause sore throat . F/U w/ GI,ENT
