Does anyone know if Saranac Root Beer is gluten free? I cannot find any info on the web and the Contact info on Saranac's webpage is not working. Thank you!

No it is not. I just called the brewery and it does contain gleutin.

Just looking at the site indicates this company brews beer.  Perhaps, the soft drinks are bottled on the same line as their beers.  Might be a reason for the company to say this root beer is not gluten free.

How would the label have indicated that gluten is included in this product?  I would have read the label and happily bought it as I do with most food.

You are right, the label does not disclose any gluten ingredients.  I tend to stick with foods that are labeled gluten free (just lazy).  When I do buy foods that are not labeled gluten free, I think about the manufacturer and would the product be manufactured on shared lines, etc.  I am pretty careful because a glutening for me tends to last for months (as documented by my GI).  I wish I were less sensitive, but that is the way it is.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you
