Heartfelt thanks to all the many responders!
My questions was: What cough drops are gluten-free?
The answers:
>>Robitussein cough drops are listed as GF by the manufacturer.
Luden's were also considered GF on my last call to that company.
>>Cold Eeze is a cold drop but is gf. They state so on their web site and my
son uses them without problems.
>>Ricola Elderflower sugar free.
I hope Ricola are gluten-free; they are good and I eat them.
>>Ricola sugar free
>>>>I have been using Robutussin cough drops without incident. I have had 3
colds this winter and have gone through at least 3 bags of them. I
thought I remembered someone on this website checking with the company
that it was GF, but I cannot say it is officially confirmed. I am a very
sensitive Celiac and have not had any reactions from these drops. I have
also used Cold Eaze drops without any reactions.
I HAVE had reactions from Ricola, probably from the glucose which can be
made from wheat.
>>I have used gluten-free Robitussin Menthol and Ricola (various flavors)
cough drops in the past. However, so far this year, I haven't needed them.
Check with the manufacturers to make sure they are still GF before you use
them.
>>You could forget the coughdrop and try hard candy,
or a chewable vitamin C, which is what I do.
A friend of mine called Halls and was given the same info.

(***I am doing this, using bits of candy cane. It helps, but not as good as I recall cough drops being.)
>> Be careful because the Halls Fruit Breezers are not GF.
>>Try the Robitussin brand. Sweetener is from corn syrup.
Personally, I prefer Bit O' Honey candy! The honey soothes a scratchy throats.
>>according to the archives, both luden's and cepacol are gluten free.
*Please provide references to back up claims of a product being GF or not GF*
