Children's Tylenol

Hi,

I checked the delphi list and I saw that children's Tylenol was gluten-free. I thought I recalled a post the other day that said the inert ingred. might not be gluten-free. The delphi list didn't have the Children's Tylenol Meltaways listed. I have the grape flavor and the website has listed the ingred. Does this look like it would be OK?

Thanks!!! :)

Cellulose acetate, citric acid, crospovidone, dextrose, D&C red #7, D&C red #30, FD&C blue #1, flavors, magnesium stearate, povidone, sucralose

I'm in the US.

I had some Children's Motrin in the medicine cabinet but it has exp. I may need to try to get some. My dd fever is low grade right now and I'm hoping she'll sleep tonight. I've called her Dr. and he said to bring her in on Monday AM. I've been trying to pour in the liquids and vitamin C.....

Thanks :)

I searched all over their website and couldn't find anything regarding whether or not their products contain gluten. I know in Canada, all Tylenol products are gluten-free (as per their Canadian Website).

Sorry, can't be more help.......

Hope your child feels better soon......

Thanks so much Karen. :) From the ingred. list it looked OK to me but I'm still new to gluten-free. I'll try to call Tylenol on Monday and post back what I find out. I probably end up giving it to her if her temp. gets too high. :wub:

Thanks again

The only thing that might be questionable would be the "flavors", but, if I had to choose the lesser of two evils, I would give her the Tylenol if her fever gets any higher....

Good Luck!

Karen

Just wanted to post an update about the Children's Tylenol Meltaways. I spoke with McNeil and they are sending me an updated list on their products that are gluten-free. She did say that the Children's Liquid Tylenol Suspension (Bubble Gum, Cherry, Grape & Strawberry) had been tested and they have no detectable levels of gluten. After she read through the list she said that the Children's Tylenol Meltaways were not on her gluten-free list.

I'll post the details on the other products when she mails me the list. :)

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
