Thanks to all who responded. I really appreciate the help, especially over a holiday.

The verdict: Everyone said that Claritin is gf, but one person warned about having had a very adverse side effect.

 Oh, please beware of the claritin reditabs, I took one and had to call the paramedics!!  I was having trouble breathing.  A side effect of that stuff is "bronchial spasms" which makes it difficult to breathe.

My pharmacist checked the ingredients for me and
pronounced it g.f. about a year ago. I didn't react
to it ( and I'm extremely sensitive) but it also
didn't help my allergy nearly as much as the
children's liquid form (no pseudephedrine) that I
usually take.

Yes they are GF - I verifed with the company 2 mnths ago before I gave them to my daughter.  She has taken them with no adverse reactions.
