Zicam cold remedy citrus flavor with elderberry rapid melts

[Gidget50]

I've read a blog on here from 5 years ago that stated these were gluten-free but high on fidmap. But it was a different flavor and also not ready melts. Could anyone let me know if this current product is gluten-free and hopefully low of fodmap?

The product doesn't contain any gluten ingredients:

and I'm not a fodmap expert, these two ingredients may be a concern:

Mannitol: Mannitol is a sugar alcohol, and some people with FODMAP sensitivities may experience digestive discomfort when consuming sugar alcohols. However, mannitol is often used in medications in small amounts and may not pose a significant concern for most individuals. It's advisable to monitor your personal tolerance.

Mono-ammonium Glycyrrhizinate: This ingredient is derived from licorice root and is used as a sweetening and flavoring agent. While licorice itself can contain FODMAPs, the extraction process may remove or reduce these compounds. As a flavoring agent in medication, the amount used is typically small and may not be a significant concern.
