Walgreen's Otc Meds Not On Main List

I use the Walgreen's gluten-free spreadsheet at glutenfreedrugs.com to determine what is safe to take. However, I have 2 items from Walgreen's that I've purchased and would like to take because they're so much cheaper than the brands, but I can't confirm whether they're safe. If a product is missing from that list, does that mean it DOES contain gluten? Or if the list is a few years old, might there just be some newer items that are gluten-free but not on the list? I came up empty on this question for months so finally called Walgreen's today to ask and found the rep quite unhelpful, though she did say she'd send my request on up the chain. The items I'm hoping are gluten-free are Walgreen's Mucus Relief and Walgreen's Cold/Flu Relief (multi-symptom/rest easy, nighttime liquid caps). Any info you can provide me on the safety of these 2 items or how I can find this out would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

      Given that she had a weak positive tTg-IgA blood test for celiac disease, and she gets symptom relief from a gluten-free diet, she could be in a pre-celiac disease stage, and might develop full blown celiac disease (villi damage) if she continues to eat gluten. At this point, even though her biopsy is negative, she may want to stay gluten-free. As @trents mentioned, she likely has NCGS.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Have you had symptom improvement on a gluten-free diet? If so, you may be in the NCGS area. Also, are you eating oats, and have you tried cutting out dairy/casein?

      Probably NCGS then and there is also the possibility of an H. Pylori infection.
