Looking for a benadryl I can take thats soy and gluten free, about to take some antibiotics, like to have something to ease the side effects if I have any allergic reactions to it.

You just need to read the labels.  You will need to learn to read labels everytime you purchase something.

 

Good Luck, Colleen

Benadryl is gluten free. I am not sure about soy as I do not have a soy problem but it is gluten free.

They do not all have soy.  This one has corn syrup though.  Zzzquil is the same drug as Benadryl. Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (sp?).  I get the liquid. here is the ingredient list. http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=e441c952-cd48-4159-ada2-271ca7541600

 

I usually take it "just in case" when I am going to someones house and they have ANY food put out. It makes me a bit sleepy, and it doesnt always work (because corn is an allergy of mine).  Soy free and cheaper in any case.

There are essential oils and herbal remedies you can use instead that are healthier and don't have any gluten, dairy, soy, nuts or anything since it's just the pure oil or herb.

EO's are not going to do ANYTHING for an allergic reaction.  To suggest so is dangerous.

There is a great website, www.glutenfreemeds.com  It won't tell you about soy, dairy, nuts, etc. but it does give you a pretty complete list of drugs both RX and OTC that contain gluten.  They also keep it up to date.

I cannot have gluten dairy or soy. many otc pills are made with dairy to bind them. i have found that gelcaps are usually made without, and sometimes I buy the children's liquid and up the dose.

As of 2016, when I bought the Zzzquil that I used just recently, it is NOT gluten free. My reaction was so severe that it woke me up within a couple of hours, and even though I was so groggy I couldn't think straight, there was no mistaking the symptoms. I'm extra sensitive and can't eat gluten-free products that have some gluten but less than 20ppm, so some of you who are less sensitive may have no problem with it. I take the Equate brand diphenhydramine pills with no reaction, but they are from a few years ago, as well.

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
