Call the maker to find out. If you have the scripts filled already their name should be on the bottle. If not call the drug store and ask. If the scripts are not filled yet ask when going to fill them what company makes them before picking them up. Most companies you can get their phone number by putting their name and the words contact info in a search engine. I find it quicker to call rather than emailing.

I second raven. Whenever I get a new scrip I call the pharmacy to find out what company manufactures their generic. I then call that company to find out if it is gluten free. I do have 2 back-up pharmacies for when my preferred pharmacy can't fill for me. Don't bother asking pharmacists to provide you with any information, they simply do not have that information to provide. The few times I've been asked why I need to know who the manufacturer is they've looked at a box or bottle and said "oh it doesn't look like there's gluten in it" or "wheat isn't on the label" and I've had to work very hard to suppress the urge to climb across the counter and strangle them.

      @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! Interesting Reading... The importance of thiamine (vitamin B1) in humans https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10568373/#:~:text=Thiamine absorption in the jejunum,system [51–53].

      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!
