Try the google in the top right corner. just keep an eye on the dates as product info from 2006 might be different now. You can go to the website of a product you are interested in & some will mention if something is gluten-free.

Here's the list of gluten-free drugs compiled by a pharmacist. There may be some not on it that are gluten-free, too.

Thank you! I got no sleep last night because I didn't know what to take. Tonight I won't have anything either because it's too late but I'll know what to get tomorrow. :)

If your head is really stuffy, my college son used a nasal rinse? It's not the Netty pot but the same company makes a squirt bottle ( looks like a contact lens solution bottle). With little packets of the right amount of salt. He did it in the shower, most do it over a sink. You run the warm saline water thru your sinus. He thought it was great. My firiends ear doctor told her the squirt bottles are gentler on your ear drums then the Netty pot.

I have seen them at Walmart & Target. He felt bad & got his at the grocery because it's close to school.

I think most of the cough drops are gluten-free, too. Sudafed ( brand name is gluten-free) and I think Mucinex was on the gluten-free list. You can call the companies or look at the websites, too.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
