Gluten-free and dairy-free painkiller recommendations

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I'm new to this board. My son was diagnosed with autism 12 years ago. We went

straight on to the diet and to cut a long story short, it's enabled him to

attend a mainstream school without an assistant, when we were told he would

probably have to go to a special school. There are still issues, but nothing

like the future we had originally feared.

 

One of the " good " residuals of his autism is that he still has a very high pain

threshold, so I've not needed medication since he's needed junior calpol (which

was ok).

 

However, now he is starting to travel etc and need to send something " just in

case " on a school trip,can someone tell me if any normal paracetamol/asprin etc

are gf and df? The pharmacies I've asked have all looked dubious.

 

Thanks

Here's a big list of specific gluten-free meds:

I haven't used the site long, and can't speak to the accuracy of all of it, but

I found it very helpful when I needed antibiotics earlier this year.

Thank you for replying Elizabeth. I still can't see anything that is a

painkiller I recognise in UK. However, he doesn't travel with the school for

another couple of months, so I'll keep looking.

 

If anyone else if trying the diet for reasons of autism and wants any info on it

from that point of view, please contact me.
