Vick's Nyquil

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.

From the updated Delphi list:

Vick's (P&G) (800.362.1683) (ve=11/20/02)

Per email from Company...there is no gluten in any Vick

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.

God bless,

Mariann

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.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
