Sorry it's taken me so long to summarize, but thanks to everyone who sent me
information.

Perhaps I should have explained better in my original post. The Benadryl
website states that while there are no ingredients that contain gluten in
Benadryl, they do not check for cross-contamination and they don't test the
products. I'd be willing to take their products, but if they're not checking
for contamination in any way, I'm not willing to risk it. However, after
hearing from several people that Pfizer had told them that Benadryl was GF
and that they had taken it without trouble, I called to check. It was the
most unpleasant phone call I've had when checking GF status. They wanted to
know why I was calling, why I needed the information, and were just
generally quite rude. They confirmed what I had read on the website, so I
will not be taking Benadryl products. Also, several people wrote to tell me
that they had gluten reactions after taking Benadryl products.

I received recommendations for:
Equate allergy medication (Wal-Mart)
Claritin
Zyrtec
Allegra
Atarax
Sulphur 30C
Rhus Tox 30c
Waldryl (Walgreens)
Kirkland allergy medicine (CostCo)

Thanks for all your help,
Julie in PA
