Vicks Products...still Gluten-Free?

Hi, everyone,

About a month ago, I visited the Vicks medicine website (vicks.com), where in their FAQ they stated that all Vicks products are gluten-free. Now I have a cold, and when I went back to the Vicks website to once again verify the gluten-free status of their products, I noticed that the gluten-free information is no longer in their FAQ. Does that mean that they are reformulating their products and that they may now contain gluten?

I see that Vicks now makes a product called Natrue Fusion, which they specifically state is gluten-free, but I'd visited their website to check the status of NyQuil and DayQuil...and now I'm wondering if those products are safe.

If anyone has any insights or info, please share! :) Thank you!

Thanks for finding this info, Karen! I see that they submitted this answer back in 2011, and I know that Vicks' website stated on their website as recently as about a month ago that the products are gluten-free. But since that info is not clearly stated there anymore, I'm definitely worried. I ended up sending them an email to ask if the products are still all gluten-free. I'll update this post with their answer once I hear back. Fingers crossed that these products are still OK... :)

I hope so!

I think it would be unlikely that they would re- formulate all thier products in less then a year to include gluten ( an issue they show they are aware of).

Don't be surprised if you get a CYA statement that says they don't add gluten but won't guarantee gluten-free status. That usually just means they don't spend the money to test.

Yeah, I agree, it's probably unlikely that they'd suddenly start using gluten in their products. But since now they seem to be specifically marketing their Nature Fusion as gluten-free, yet there's no other gluten-related info readily available on their site anymore, it definitely makes me wonder. I'm probably overthinking it, but hopefully they can provide an up-to-date and definitive answer...although I won't be at all surprised if it's more of a CYA type of answer, either.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
