We contacted Benadryl’s manufacturer (Kenvue) about all of their Benadryl products. They told us that while gluten or gluten containing grains are not ingredients in their products, they cannot verify gluten free status as they do not currently test the final products for gluten.
Quick Rundown
Gluten or gluten containing grains are not ingredients in the products.
No 100% guarantee as there is no end product testing.
What The Manufacturer Stated:
“Gluten or gluten-containing grains are not ingredients in the product. However, we do not currently test our final products for gluten and we cannot confirm that the product or any ingredients in the product are free of gluten. We strongly recommend that you first consult your doctor before using any product if you have Celiac disease or if you believe you have any form of gluten intolerance or sensitivity.”
A Gluten Free Diphenhydramine Alternative:
Try Walgreens Free & Pure Dye-Free Allergy Relief Diphenhydramine Liquid Gels. They are labeled gluten free to less than 20ppm. Always verify on the current product box or bottle as formulas can change.
