Okay my store has:

Kroger Brand - 2 cultures - gluten-free as per our call to them a coupl months ago.
Breyers - deos not state how many cultures
Yopliat - 3 clutures - gluten-free status unknonw, but its a General Mills Company
Wieght Watchers - Unknown thier website does not allow non-windows access
Horzins - FIVE cultures, but natural flavors "may" contain gluten.

Soooooooooo thats what I got to work with. Okay all you yogurt experts, what you say?

Vincent--since I've been off dairy for the past couple of years, I can't help ya. Good luck, though on your quest

Vincent,
I believe the Yoplait are all gluten free except for the obvious, like granola topping. I know several people on this board swear by yoplait. I just get plain and add my own fruit - just done that for years, since I ate yogurt before it was popular - I made my own (and still do sometimes) back in the sixties. So when I started eating yogurt they didn't have all those flavors, and I never really got into them.

I eat Yoplait light all of the time! They are yummy!

Well I like the Kroger ones (and the price 5/$1 is great!!!) but the yogurt experts here tell me that 2 cultures is fiarly wimpy and I should have one with at least 4 or 6 or better yet 500000000000000000000001 !

What about Dannon Yogurt? I eat it and don't seem to have problems...

Actually, my yogurt has 500000000000000000000003 cultures, but who's counting?

For now, yoplait is probably your best choice, though I did find this article about Breyer's yogurt:

http://www.foodingredientsfirst.com/newsma...egory=27&page=8

So be on the lookout for that...
I'm getting conflicting information about who makes it, it's on a Kraft FAQ, but says it's owned by Unilever...

Blue Bunny Light 85 is gluten-free and tasty---sweetened with Splenda. Has fruit flavors. Pick and Save has it all the time and I see it at other stores as well. Barbara

Probiotics and kefir. ;-) Most kefir's I've seen have more than 2 or 3 cultures. I believe Cascade Fresh had 4?

This page may offer some insight: http://www.usprobiotics.org. Here is some info I got off of it. I don't know about the gluten-free status of any of this stuff. Also, I just watched a special on PBS by Brenda Watson. It was very interesting and talked about probiotics and other supplements that help the digestive tract.

Dannon has released nationwide a fermented dairy-based beverage containing 1010 live Lactobacillus casei per serving. The product, calledDanActive (link to: www.danactive.com) in the U.S.,) has been sold in Europe for years under the Actimel brand.

Stonyfield Farms adds six species of bacteria to all of its yogurt products. The yogurt starter culture bacteria, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, are present along with — Bifidobacterium species, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus reuteri. Stonyfield Farms yogurt also contains a prebiotic – inulin.

Lifeway Foods, the largest U.S. seller of the fermented milk beverage, kefir, markets Basics Plus kefir containing six live, active cultures and a yeast. Two of these cultures, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus casei are species normally considered having probiotic effects. In addition to probiotic cultures, this product contains immunoglobulins isolated from cow colostrum, added to provide passive immunity against intestinal pathogens.

Horizon Organic Dairy includes Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium in all its yogurt and cottage cheese products.

Some milk products also contain probiotics. These unfermented, culture-containing milks taste the same as regular milk, but contain ~2 million Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria per ml, or ~500 million in an 8 oz. glass. Some also contain bifidobacteria. Many different dairies across the U.S. sell these milks. Check the dairy case at your grocery store.

More than 80 companies in the U.S. market probiotic products in supplement form..

Danon, Stoney Field, and Horaizon ARE NOT gluten-free.

Lifeway I have not seen in my store, or anywhere for that matter.

I picked up 7 yopliats. Just ate one, was yummy. Chocolate rasberrie!
