Hello. Does anyone know of a sudafed equivalent (store brand) that is gluten free? I am 9 months pregnant and can only take the regular sudafed (pseudoephederine). I bought the Sudafed brand and took two this morning and am having major stomach issues. Does anyone know of a store brand that is gluten free. Thank you so much.

I don't know where you live but if you have a Wegmans nearby you can call their 1 800 WEGMANS number or one of their pharmacies and they should know if their store brand is safe.

We've been spending a lot of time searching for a gluten-free decongestant for my son. Triaminic says their Thin Strips Cold and Stuffy Nose are gluten-free and Motrin Cold is tested for gluten. Both are kid items, but perhaps you could see about adult dosages. I was surprised how hard it was to find a gluten-free decongestant and very frustrated with the results of hours spent on the phone with manufacturers.
