My six-year-old sone has celiac.  He has ringing in his ears for about
10 days. The pediatrician cheked him earlier this week and couldn't find
anything wrong. The ringing continued so we took him to an ENT
specialist.

The specialist found fluid behind both ears and prescribed CLARITIN
SYRUP and VANCENASE AQ NASAL SPRAY.  Both of these medifications are
manufactured by the Schering Coporation.  When we contacted them
yesterday they were unable to state wheather the drugs are gluten-free.
The ringing presists and my son is unable to sleep as a result.

Has anyone any experience with either of these drugs so that I may
have an idea to any adverse effects before i administer these
medications to my son...

I appreciate your input.
