Chicken Pox Relief

My little one doesn't have the pox yet but we were visiting someone who broke out the day after we visited so I'm on chicken pox watch and would like some answers before they show up if that's possible. From what I read I will need fever reducer, antihistamine and calomine lotion? Does anyone know for a fact any products that are gluten free for this? I called a few numbers I had for fever reducers and antihistamines I had at home already for my other child but these companies couldn't give a proper answer. The pharmasist said I had to call the numbers on the boxes to find out. I don't want to have to call every company at the drug store if I can avoid it. Can someone give me some advice here? Thanks!

That website might give you a general idea of what is gluten free. I would of course call and double check (don't know how often the site is updated). Good Luck!

Here's a list that I got from Tylenol a couple of months ago:

In reference to your inquiry concerning the gluten content in our products, I have listed below the products which have been tested and do not contain detectable levels of gluten.

The following McNeil products have been tested and do not contain detectable levels of gluten:

Children's TYLENOL

I would only use tylenol for pain and fever with chicken pox. Benadryl and calamine lotion. My daughter got relief from Aveeno bath but would be a nono because it is oat based. Maybe a baking soda bath would help too.

      Hey @suek54, I also have Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I used to be on Dapsone but have managed to wean myself off it after many attempts. It's quiet a toxic drug, as it affects the bone marrow and red blood cells. It also artificially reduces Hemoglobin A1C. Mine was at 21 at one stage, I think normal is around 37. With dermatitis herpetiformis, you need to be really strict. It wasn't until I focused on getting the trace minerals the body needs that I managed to get off it. I believe getting the thyroid numbers in the optimal range also helped with Iodine and Selenium. Iodine doesn't bother me for some reason, but flares others as knitty kitty said. I take Viridian Trace Mineral complex and it's made a huge difference, among other vitamins and minerals. Now I can tolerate gluten free oats which I could never eat before. Though I only have them very occasionally in the form of gluten free soda bread . One thing I miss is my Mums Irish soda bread. Hope this helps.

      Hi all Biopsy confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis. Strict gluten free diet going OK, I cook nearly everything from scratch anyway and am finding gluten free  adaptations for most recipes.  I seem to be tolerating 50mg Dapsone well, regular blood tests OK so far.  Next derma appt in 8 weeks. I have some continuing itching and rash outbreaks, though nowhere near as severe as they were, so I am hoping for an increased dose, as the effect only seems to last 6-7 hours.  I think I may be burning through it more quickly than some due to other medication. Also I cannot mount a response to inflammation due to Addison's Disease.  I hope others are finding their way though the minefield that is dermatitis herpetiformis. Hang on in there! Sue (in UK)

      @KeriRae, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease or with dermatitis herpetiformis?
    • KeriRae
      I've had this same rash on my back on and off for the last year or two.  I was taking LDN to help with other issues but quit awhile back. I'm wondering if LDN would help with this rash.
