John & Cindy, We have a 6 year old daughter,Molly, who has Celiac. Finding gluten-free medicine can be a real challenge sometimes! On November 1, 1995, we had a pharmacist, Lindsey Pickle, from Concord Drugs in Atlanta (404-252-2280) call regarding the antibiotic, "Amoxil" (Amoxicillin) to see if it was safe for Molly. He reported back to us that the company said it was gluten-free. Perhaps you can check with your pharmacist to double-check if "Amoxicil" still is gluten-free. It was of help to Molly last year when she had Strep. We are currently trying to update our "Molly's Gluten-Free Database" and will let you know when we find out about any other medication. Also, if you are in need of acetiminophen for your daughter, we have a letter dated 4/1/96 from Sandra Willett, Sr. Product Info. Specialist for Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., that states that Tempra is gluten-free(1-800-222-9123). Molly, our daughter, does not enjoy the taste of Tempra and only takes it (along with a couple of M&Ms to cut the taste) when she is absolutely miserable! By the way, if any one knows of a gluten-free acetiminophen besides Tempra, we would be grateful to know about it. We wish your daughter well! Beth Ann & Wayne Bond Marietta, GA USA
