Are Shasta Soda Pops gluten-free?

In May, I emailed the Shasta soda company, asking if their soda pops are gluten free. Their email reply indicated that all of their pops are made with corn ingredients, never wheat.

Then I emailed them back with this question: Even your root beer is gluten free? How is that possible? Isn't all root beer made from barley?

They didn't email me back after this inquiry. <_<

I haven't fed my gluten-free daughter any of the Shasta pops, thinking the whole email dialog was fishy. I'd like to know if any celiacs out there in cyberspace have ever tried Shasta pops, and if so, what was the reaction?

I have never tried Shasta products, sorry. There are quite a few root beers that are gluten-free (A&W, Hires, IBC, Mug) so not all root beers are made from barley.

Are you sure IBC root beer is gluten-free? I know it was many years ago after I was diagnosed, but a few years back I noticed a change in ingredient list and contacted company and was told it was NOT gluten free. Great root beer, but I stopped drinking it. Maybe they've changed the formula again. At their web page it lists

Contains: carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, caramel color, sodium benzoate (preservative), artificial and natural flavors, food starch - modified, citric acid. No Caffeine

My understanding of IBC root beer being gluten-free is from my Colorado gluten-free products list. It states that all IBC root beer is gluten-free. The information is a little over a year old. My guess is that the food starch is corn. However, the box has a toll free number that I can call.

Yep...I called them too and, thankfully, got the same answer. WooHoo, I can drink IBC again.

      Neurologist says deficiencies are caused by some malabsorption

      Hi, I'm writing here to help my boyfriend who is struggling with doctors and exams that didn't go anywhere. Frustration led me to write symptoms and results from different exams to AI (since I saw the debate about AI as an assistant to diagnosis is wide open) and it said that celiac is the most probable cause of all his symptoms. But I need now opinions...

      diagnostic testing variance

      But you have already had the genetic testing done and you have results. You have one main celiac gene out of two main celiac genes. You have the HL-DQ8 gene. So, you do have the potential for developing celiac disease.

      oh wow that's so interesting! if I do re-scope, I will try to eat gluten more as well. when I do its super light. so maybe trying to keep that consistent for a while then the scope. plus i want to still do the genetic testing to rule it out. that would be so easy if that is negative then I for sure don't have it.

      Keep us posted about the scoping results. Make sure before the scoping you ask them to take several samples from both the duodenum and the duodenum bulb. Damage can be patchy and is sometimes missed if insufficient sampling is done during the biopsying.

      so all this info has been really helpful... thank you! I recently tested again and was IGA negative for celiac, but further testing says I am positive for one of the variants that is associated with celiac. (HLA DQ8) also says value 1 and 3 for HLA DQA1, but idk what that means. Anyway, now they are suggesting repeat scope. sometimes gluten makes...

      Hi, I'm writing here to help my boyfriend who is struggling with doctors and exams that didn't go anywhere.  Frustration led me to write symptoms and results from different exams to AI (since I saw the debate about AI as an assistant to diagnosis is wide open) and it said that celiac is the most probable cause of all his symptoms. But I need now opinions from actual people. However, he doesn't show evident GI symptoms, it happens that he feels nauseous and has some bloating but those could be correlated to his mental health. He is now almost 24 and first symptons showed up at 17 with persistent hand tremors, almost as he is always cold, even when that's not true. He is also irritable and has troubles focusing and with short-term memory (often forgets what he was going to say, doens't remember where henleft keys etc..). There are other symptoms that come and go. For several days (from 1 or 5) symptoms described earlier are much more pronounced. Tremors affect other body parts as teeth start chattering, he has spasms with his head and his arms some of them being directed to specific targets and mimic voluntary actions (like slapping the nearest person, punching a door and throwing things). Other symptoms occurring in these episodes are shouting as he is feeling pain and has troubles speaking. He did some tests thinking it could be Wilson disease due to ceruloplasmin being low, but both urinary and blood copper was low (it was supposed to be high for Wilson). Zinc is also low, excluding the possibility of excessive zinc intake being the cause of low copper. Other low values were folate and alkline phosphatasis. He was diagnosed with an abnormal bipolarism disorder, treated with valproate but it just limited the frequency of those acute episodes. I hope we find an answer soon
