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.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
