Root Beer Softdrinks


culpusa

I have been warned that many rootbeers contain wheatgluten gliadens ?

How may this be so? The ingredients listed for rootbeers appear to be all the same.

Never have I seen a listing of wheatflour as an additive or ingredient of rootbeer softdrinks.

By what ingredient may some rootbeers, if any, be harmful to someone with gliaden intolerance?

Which brands of rootbeer do you know to contain wheat product or byproducts?

How do you know this to be true?

Has a rootbeer manufacturer or bottler or formulator disclosed the offending ingredient ?

Has a wheat gluten intolerant person suffered by ingesting a rootbeer?

What ingredients are the contaminants or are antagonistic to a gluten-free diet?

Thank you,

Jim Culp

Hi Jim,

I can't answer all of your questions but I can help you with a few. First off, the offending ingredients can be found in several forms, artifical flavors, natural flavors, caramel color, barley malt or extract, and also in modified food starch, one or all of these can be found in some rootbeers. I have found more diet rootbeers that are safe than regulars, but I know that there are a few regulars that are ok too.

My son did suffer a mild reaction after ingesting some regular rootbeer (I think it was IBC) but he seems to have no problems with the diet version.

(Where is that list of other gluten-free rootbeers? <_< )

This page, especially the footnotes at the bottom, may help answer a part of your questions. It really helped me see how some of the ingredients are made, and why they may not be gluten-free.

      Does anybody know of a guide that ranks reevaluates universities and colleges in terms of their accommodation of celiac disease or food allergies?   Thanks in advance for any leads! Valerie

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet

      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely?

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):
