Are Zrytec Syrup For Children And Flonase Gluten Free


twinmommy

Recommended Posts

Hi All!

My two boys were just diagnosed with Celiac. Both boys are on Zyrtec syrup and Flonase nasal spray. When I asked their pharmacist if the medicines were gluten free, he could not tell me. How can I find out if the medications (prescription and over the counter) are safe to give my children?

I also wonder about dye free motrin and any cold medications.

Thanks, Dana

Do you know where that list is from, I was just flipping through it and came across tylenol, "all cold formluas" Thats not really correct b/c tylenol has a specific list of medication that has been tested for gluten and only those they can confirm gluten-free.

Here is their most recent listing.

Strength TYLENOL® Gelcaps), and TYLENOL® Allergy Complete Caplets (replaces

TYLENOL® Allergy Sinus Caplets) have not yet been tested. These products have

been reformulated to improve the flavor or release of medication. We would not

expect to find gluten in the new ingredient components necessary to reformulate

these products.

The following Johnson & Johnson/Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals products have

been tested and do not contain detectable levels of gluten:

Children's Mylanta® Tablets Bubblegum

Regular Strength Mylanta® Liquid Original Flavor

Maximum Strength Mylanta® Liquid Original Flavor

Pepcid® AC 10 mg Tablets

Pepcid® Complete Chewable Mint Tablets

The list is compiled from various sources that are listed on the last page of the link. Any list, and this includes glutenfreedrugs.com can contain outdated info--the best source is the company, itself. I generally email the companies in question--I actually posted a list from McNeil on the board recently that I received from them--not sure if it's the same one you have there.

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
