Standing in a pharmacy trying to establish if you are going to cause your coeliac child harm by providing them with a medicine of the shelf is unacceptable, when food products manufactured in NZ must declare gluten. If you are lucky you find a good pharmacist who will look up information or you may get one who just says a bit of gluten won't matter! You will make a coeliac's life safer with a gluten declaration.
