Help
I thought I read somewhere that Vick's multi-symptom liquid, cherry flavor NyQuil, is gluten-free, but since I've had to take it over these past few days I've had increased stomach trouble that reminds me of my gluten symptoms. It's made by Proctor and Gamble, and they are nearly impossible to get a hold of over the phone (on hold forever, finally gave up.) Does anyone know absolutely for sure if it's ok? It has "flavor" as well as "alcohol" in the ingredients, and that has me concerned, too. Thanks,

I would be nervous to use that Gillian. It's not on the list of okay things on www.glutenfreedrugs.com.

Well that's good news! Maybe I should stop using the www.glutenfreedrugs.com and stay will Delphi. They seem to be the best resource for all categories now....

Whew! Scared me, too, for a second. Good to know Vick's doesn't have gluten in anything. I've seen other Vick's products listed as gluten-free but never saw the NyQuil listed. Thanks

Remember, though, Karen, that it may not be the same in Canada. Mireille might be able to direct you to a good list like this one for Canada. I think the list Delphi provides only applies to the US

Actually NyQuil is on the list, but they spelled it incorrectly as Niquil (Celiac.com's med list also mispelled it this way), but I believe they mean the same Vicks product. Vicks products (including NyQuil) is on the other gluten-free med list I also use. I use the NyQuil liquid filled tablets as my primary cold/flu remedy to help me sleep better and I haven't had any gluten reaction to them. I can NOT use the liquid, it always gives me a stomachache. I believe it is the alcohol that bothers me, even if it is gluten-free...the tablets don't bother me at all.

Thanks Marian, I'm really having a hard time with the liquid. I would just swear it's gluten in there the way my stomach has regressed back to its previous condition! lol, but I guess that can't be true if everyone here has checked it out and says it's ok. It's really doing a number on me, though. Think in the future I'll go with the tablets as you mentioned.
