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.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
