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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
