Okay so we found out in the other thread that my wimpy 20cent/ea yogurt only has TWO live cultures in it, so since we on anti-botics here right now, what normal-store findable (Esply a Krogers!) brands are gluten-free and good? I do not want plain*ewww!), perfer flavored with fruit. :D

Thanks!

Told ya to eat the good stuff! ;)

Stonyfield Organic can be found in your local Kroger. It has inulin in it but I looked at their website and it comes from chicory root. It has at SIX LIVE cultures! (Yummy flavors too, including smoothies)

If you happen to get to a health food store, Cascade Fresh has 8 cultures...(also yummy)

When I used to eat dairy, I loved Stoneyfield Farms! The Vanilla and the Strawberry flavors are really good. Good for your wife while taking the antibiotics--it has the good bacteria in it.

Intresting note on thier site:

Does your plain, organic yogurt contain gluten?

Two Stonyfield products, Yo Baby Plus Cereal Yogurt and Brownie Sundae Premium Ice Cream, do contain gluten. All other Stonyfield yogurt products, frozen yogurt, and ice cream do not contain any gluten source ingredients. We do not add gluten to our products; however, some of the natural flavors used to make our products may have used a grain alcohol in the extraction process.

We are still in the process of learning more about Celiac disease and have been told that some individuals are sensitive to even miniscule amounts of gluten. We have difficulty answering questions because we are concerned about giving out information to individuals who have unique and sensitive health issues without the person going through their doctor, especially since the outcome could be very serious.

Becareful of the flavored ones...this is right from the website

Does your yogurt contain gluten?

Our nonfat, lowfat and whole milk plain yogurts do not contain any gluten source ingredients. We do not add gluten to our products; however, some of the natural flavors used to make our products may contain gluten-derived stabilizers.

They say gluten free on the cup itself, all flavors, and they don't use ANYTHING artificial. They also culture the yogurt in the cup. Here's what the cup says (I'm about to eat it :lol: ):

"This yogurt was cultured right in this cup, slowly, with more active clutures, to enhance the nutritional benefits and create the satisfying flavor you'll prefer over others. You'll find no artificial ingredients and no preservatives here. Yogurt can be made twice as fast in big batches, but then it wouldn't be as good, would it? Cascade Fresh: Activate your life"

The ingredients in this Boysenberry cup are:

CONTAINS: Grade A pasteurized nonfat milk, fruit juice concentrate, boysenberries, tapioca, pectin, natural flavors, active cultures GLUTEN FREE

You can call them at (800)511-0057

I haven't had a reaction.

wow i just got the quickest email ever about gluten-free products :) Here is their response

Thank you for contacting Cascade Fresh yogurt. Our yogurt is all natural and contains no preservatives, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors or additives. Our yogurt is sweetened with fruit juice concentrate and neither the fruit nor the fruit juice concentrate contains preservatives or refined sugar.

We have a letter from our fruit supplier that certifies our fruits to be gluten and wheat free. Therefore, all of our yogurts are gluten free. For a stabilizer we use a small amount of tapioca, which comes from the cassava root, and pectin, which comes from apples. The fruit juice concentrate is made from pineapples, peaches, pears, and apples.

In May 2002 Cascade Fresh was added to the 7th edition of the Celiac Sprue Association’s (CSA/USA, Inc) Commercial Products Guide as being a company that provides gluten-free products. Here is more information on this organization:

I eat the Lite Kroger brand yogurt or the carb master, neither one because of trying to lose weight but they do not list any ingridents containing gluten that I see, I have not had a reaction yet and they are really good and cheap! 5 for $2.

Well, it's not 5/$1 Kroger brand...

I pay about .69 for a container. Yoplait at HEB is like, .48 so it's not THAT big a difference. Esp. since it's got a lot more health benefit, about 4x in cultures alone! :ph34r:

I'm a poor non-profit worker and DH is a grad student, but we manage to afford it. But he eats yoplait, he can have gluten :P

You're paying for sugar and extra stabilizers in cheap yogurt...yuck ;)

That's so true! If you spend a little bit more on higher quality food now, it will pay off big time for you in the long run. :)

Is Yoplait safe to eat? I know you are saying it isn't as beneficial but I though it was all gluten-free? I always get sick after eating it so I don't eat it much but I do always try it.

Well the cost realy does not matter, if I cant find it at the grocery store. :( Its major deal to hike out to Wild Oats, and theres realy no other health food place around. I guess I will just have ot examine each one, then come home and look up the gluten info. Was hoping not to have ot go through all that. heh. :(

Yoplait is a General Mills company, and that means if the ingredients are safe then the product is as far as I know.

The dietician I saw just told us that Stonyfield Farms has more probiotics in it than any other brand of yogurt, and is gluten-free (at least the plain -- that's all I use, because I add my own fruit). Hope it helps . . . . Lynne

I don't eat the yogurts with too many live raw germs in them-they make me feel sick like I cought a stomach virus or something.I don't eat them.I avoid them but I do eat the store brand yogurts and La Yogurt.Oh and Activa -it's new They were half price at my local mart-so I tried them ,they're supposed to regulate your digestive tract and stay in the small intestine for days.

Vydorscope, I also shop Kroger. We may have to compare notes more frequently. For "flavored" yogurt, I buy Yoplait Light. Both the Light and the "regular" are supposed to be gluten free. I have to go slowly with dairy, just re-introducing it, but it seems to not cause any more problems than any dairy.

Ok, that's in answer to your question about flavored yogurt at Kroger.

I'll add a personal addendum:

I also have just recently started buying Lifeway's lowfat, plain Kefir also from Kroger (gluten-free). Kefir is supposedly a really good for you probiotic, and Dr. Perricone lists this particular brand as one of the superfoods in two of his books.

I drink about 8 oz/day and after just a couple of weeks, I do feel better. (And even if it's all in your mind, feeling better is a good thing.)

Does Kefir take some getting used to? For me it did. After only a couple of days though, I really began to like it. I don't know what I was expecting; it's thicker than buttermilk, but thinner than yogurt. Shake it really well, or you may find clumps. Sometimes I mix it with my Enjoy Life granola. Other times I drink it plain or with chopped fresh fruit.

I was just diagnosed in Dec. and I know that my gut still has a long way to go in the healing process. I'm willing to do whatever to aid the healing. We've all felt bad and lacked necessary nutrients long enough, eh?

Sorry, this statement struck me as odd. Is the "live raw germs" a mental thing? Because the Activa you bought is chalk full of the "germs" you're talking about. Live cultures (good bacteria) are what make yogurt yogurt, and they're also found in your digestive tract. When you have D or are on antibiotics, the good bacteria get flushed out or killed. When you eat yogurt, it repopulates your digestive tract with those beneficial bacteria that help you digest food.

Activa is a marketing strategy by Dannon to sell more yogurt, all yogurt can help regulate your digestive tract. A lot of yogurts has the "bifidus" strain Dannon claims to have exclusively. They just patented the name on a very specific strain they cultured. It's also found naturally in the large intestine. It's like the bc pill seasonale, it was a ploy to sell more pills and have a new patent, because the patent on desogen ran out. Seasonale is just desogen packaged differently.

Raw germs?? The bacteria is in all yogurt and its good for you. You have colonies of those bacteria living in your digestive tract right now. You need them for good health.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
