I'm still learning as I go, do any of you know if Children's Triaminic Syrup, Day Time Cold and Cough is gluten-free or not???

My son has Celiac and also has Down syndrome and will not take the Triaminic Thin Strips. I typically have to force any medication down his throat so any help or suggestions on cold medicine for a 4 year old would be greatly appreicated!!!

I called Triaminic about a month ago. This is their gluten free list according to a phone representative:

Cough & Fever (Bubble gum)

Flu, Cough & Fever

Chest & Nasal Congestion

Cold & Allergy

Daytime Cold & Cough

Nighttime Cols & Cough

Thin Strips--Cold & Cough, Runny Nose... (He was talking so fast that I couldn't write the all the thin strips down so there are likely more that are gluten free. :rolleyes: )

Have you tried hiding it in applesauce, pudding, or flavored milk? Also, if you check around with little pharmacies you may be able to find one that can put it in a different form. We have one here that for no extra charge will put medicine in suckers and stuff. It's not chain drug store, it's an old fashioned pharmacy.

Good luck!

Gluten Free List from Tylenol: I contacted Triaminic last week when my daughter was sick. I did not get a good response. I did however get a good response from Tylenol Products. I'll attach the letter I got from them today, Oct 25th, 2009. Hope it helps. It is quite long and contains many different medicines.

Dear Ms. Perry: Thank you for contacting McNeil-PPC, Inc., makers of Children's TYLENOL

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      Very helpful. Oh yes, I am quite fastidious about not falling off the diet. It's just that the list of things I must add to the restrictions seems to grow.

      Chronic duodenitis and gastritis post diagnose

      I know this post is old but was wondering if you ever resolved this. My son is in the same situation. Villi healed but gastritis / duodenitis remain and calprotectin elevated. Now testing for crohns which I am freaking out about.

      I did a little research and one kind of aphthous ulcer (aka, canker sore) is the Herpetiform canker sore. It is well-known that celiac disease can cause a skin rash known as herpetiformis dermatitis. I can't help but wonder if there is a connection. Celiac disease is also listed in this article as a cause for canker sores: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases...

      Coping with celiac

      Do you wear an M-95 mask left over from the pandemic when you handle flour? Do you eat out in restaurants? Do you take vitamins?

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      Back in September I started Semaglutide for weight loss. Shortly after starting I started having stomach issues - vomiting, diarrhea, red itchy palms and elevated heart rate.  I would have The episodes were every two weeks or so.  I stopped taking the semaglutide, but continued to have episodes.  GP ran bloodwork all normal, including celiac.  Ordered a stomach emptying test it was normal too.  The itchy palms stumped him.  So he ordered blood allergy test all came back normal no allergies. He had me go gluten free 11/29.  Finally got into a GI doc on 12/16.  She wanted me to reintroduce gluten back in my diet on 12/23 and then have scope on 1/8.  Well, 5 days in with gluten, I had an episode. I’m not sure I can keep eating gluten for 10 more days.  I have PTSD thinking about possibly having an episode(s) again.  Anyone going through this? Or have thoughts/suggestions?

Celiac disease is also listed in this article as a cause for canker sores: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/canker-sore/symptoms-causes/syc-20370615 Are you observing a strict gluten free diet? You might also look into reducing iodine consumption as that is known to help with herpetiformis dermatitis. Perhaps it will help with your canker sores as well.
