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!!

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.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
