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.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
