Thank you for your responses to my request for GF cough medicines for my
daughter.  I received some conflicting information from members of the LIST,
so I contacted additional pharmacies in my area.  Blue Ridge Pharmacy in
Raleigh, NC submitted a research request for GF cough medicines to Cambell
University's Drug Information Center.  Evidently, this research group is
available only to pharmacists and physicians.

I was elated to receive from the pharmacy today a 6 page exerpt from the
American Pharmaceutical Association's "Nonprescription Products: Lists for
Patients with Special Needs '96-97" containing a list of GF nonprescription
medications not only for coughs/colds but for other ailments as well.

To my surprise, neither Robitussin nor Triaminic (which had been recommended
from the parent of a celiac child) were listed. Some GF cough medicines for
children on the list include:

Creomulsion Cough Medicine
Tuss-DM
TheraFlu Flu, Cold, & Cough Medicine
Scot-Tussin DM

You may want to ask your doctor or local pharmacy to contact the Cambell
University Drug Research Center for such information.

Susan
