Hi all

My "Guide through the medicine cabinet: cliac sprue" drug book says that Bendryl elixir AF is gluten-free and that it is a prescription.  My pharmacist states that that specific drug has not been a prescription for many years.  He gave me over-the-counter Children's Benadryl Allergy in it's place.  Is this gf?  I e-mailed the company and they will get back to me within 3 days.  My screaming toddler seems to think three days is too long to wait.  My son had his first accidental gluten ingestion in August.  It took 4 weeks for him to get back to himself.  If there are any doubts I will not be giving it to him.  One archive entry mentions giving a child benadryl but it doesn't say what kind (allergy, cold/flu or tablet, elixer).  Any help would be much appreciated.  Pardon the typing, my son is "helping".
