Hi, I've not had any trouble with the DM type of tussin or robatussin.

I think like some vitamins they change formulas from time to time so I always check the label.

This was one of the first things I had to hunt down for myself, and I checked it recently, too :

Vicks liquid medicines of every type (the cough drops contain gluten)

Thanks - Cough syrup is one of those things that when you need it, you need it immediately. The worst part of "shopping" for it, is when the manufacturer closes at 5 PM and you're in the drugstore or supermarket buying it and it's after 5 PM and you can't get an answer but you need the medicine badly. At that point you are wishing the manufacturer would just print GLUTEN FREE on the package/bottle. I called Mucinex today and of course they said that the ingriedents do not contain any gluten but they don't test for gluten after they make it.

      Thank you! I did not realize the role of thiamine in hit healing. I will look for Life Extension then.

      I prefer not to use Nature's Bounty because they use Thiamine Mononitrate which is not a useable source of Thiamine.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate is absorbed, and it must undergo chemical changes to convert thiamine mononitrate into a form the body can utilize more easily.   Look for multivitamins that use Thiamine Hydrochloride, or take an additional thiamine supplement.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide (TTFD) is helpful for neurological symptoms.   A B Complex supplement in addition to a multi vitamin is another option.   I like Life Extension brand.

      If the manufacturer says it contains gluten, then I would definitely go with that over the government website.
