I want to thank the many people who responded.  The responses were wonderful
and supportive.  I'm dividing the summary into three messages:
1.  How folks determine the GF status of medicines,
2.  the GF status of Effexor, Claritin, Guiafenisin, and Flonase,
3.  the amount of time it takes a newbie GF dieter to feel 'normal' again.
