Root Beer And Sour Cream Ok Or Not?

I have only just begun to eat gluten free but already my stomach is feeling better (after only 25 yrs)! The information my doctor gave me about this diet is very non-specific, though, and some of the information on the web is contradictory. I have two specific questions. I LOVE rootbeer but all the information I've seen says is "some rootbeers". WHICH rootbeers, please? Can I have Barq's? Also I love sour cream but again, the lists say "some contain wheat". What brands are safe? If anyone knows this, I'd love to hear from you! Thank you so much.

I don't know about the root beer, but with sour cream, the issue is usually non-fat or low-fat sour creams. They can add fillers to help with the consistency. Check the labels, of course, but most full-fat sour creams should be gluten-free. (Of course, if you're having issues with diary, they're a no-no...)

It is normal to have a lot of questions and that is what we are all here for. Here is a great website that list some gluten-free food.

As you ennter the site you will see "food list", click on that and it sorts them by category.

tarnalberry is right about the sour cream, here are some safe brands from a list I have: Blue Bunny, Kemps, Meijer, Tillamook, Breakstone (regular only). From what I read on the website above and according to another list I have they both say Barq's rootbeer is safe.

I hope this helps. :)

If you are in doubt about the rootbeer and you like Barq's call the company. As for sour cream, I think the main issue in sour cream is the food starch because they can make it from either corn or wheat. So again the best bet would be to call the company or email the company you normally use.

Hope that helps!!

Thanks, I had wondered about the Barq's rootbeer also. Granny

Rootbeer and sour cream!

Reminds me of milk and Pepsi from Laverne and Shirley! :D

I guess if you like it....

Just kidding!

Daisy brand sour cream is gluten-free (877 292-9830). So is Blue Sky rootbeer (without preservatives, additives, artificial colors, flavors and caffeine). Open Original Shared Link

Enjoy!

The celiac.com's list of gluten-free items includes A&W Rootbeer. I drink it frequently. Just another option for you.

My wife drinks A&W (the colouring isnt from a gluten source) and I can say its safe.

She's not brave enough to try Mug, so I guess I'll look that up too

Mug, A&W, Barq's, Stewart's, and Hires are all gluten-free.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
