Children's Tylenol

[Kasey'sMom]

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 forget, are you in Canada or U.S.?

I use the motrin dye free and it is gluten-free.

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.

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!

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.
