Glutened From Cold Medicine Or Cough Drops

So I took some cold medicine (Alka-Seltzer Plus liquid gels) and some Walgreens cough drops to help me deal with my cold. But I'm pretty sure one of them glutened me. So now I just feel worse. Alka-Seltzer's website said their products are gluten free but are processed in a facility with gluten containing products. I emailed Walgreens about their cough drops but I haven't heard back. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone know which cold medicines are gluten free?

I wanted to try and get through work today but now I just feel so much worse there is no way I can now. :/

Must be a bug going around. I haven't felt so hot either. Been taking Nyquil every night and some cough drops too. Just figured my gut isn't healed all the way yet.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
