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.

      I'm not delaying my recovery- I was well on my way to recovering, IF I do have celiac disease by listening to my body and not eating the foods that made me feel ill. the drug I just stopped taking was making me incredibly ill and it's unfortunate and more than  a little frustrating that the dr

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.
