My daughter is so sensitive that I try not to buy purchase anything that does not say gluten free. I have looked online at differnt websites with gluten free medications, but scared to purchase. Can anyone please help me? Thanks!

Can you tell us what kind of meds she needs? If they are script find out the maker from the pharmacey before you pick the script up and then call the maker directly.

In the past I've used Open Original Shared Link

Near the bottom are links for an alphabetical list, list by therapeutic category, PDFs etc.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear on medications needed. She does not take any prescription medications as of right now. Just wanted to make sure that my cabinets were stocked for allergy, cold/flu, cough etc. She is extremely sensitive and I prefer not to use anything not labels gluten free. Thank you for any and all information!

I've noticed lately that Target and Meijer have been listing on the packaging of their store brand OTC meds if a product is gluten free.

Bah the formatting didn't come thru. Each on its own line at the site.

It's a long list of OTC medications, of course above is just A thru Cla.

      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.
