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.

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

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

Open Original Shared Link

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...

This page may offer some insight: Open Original Shared Link. 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! :D

Where did you hear that? I thought Horizon was gluten-free?? I believe its on the Delphi list also. I got sick from Horizon vanilla yogurt back when I first started the diet but when I checked into it it seemed safe. I'm intolerant to vanilla though so I assumed that caused the reaction I got.

On this board, when I searched te old posts, there was several posts form ppl that had gotten in touch woth horzins and they all said that horzins stated thier flavorings might come from a wheat source. It was NOT in the april 2005 delphi list which is the newest version I have seen.

Stoneyfield IS gluten free, they just use a general CYA statement that their lawyers make them use. They do not add any gluten to their product. I know there has been some concern about the natural flavors, but after talking at length to their rep on the phone, I feel very confident that they are safe. That being said I only buy their Vanilla yougurt. I eat it several times a week with no ill effects.

For fruit flavored yogurts I buy Cascade Fresh which is clearly labeled gluten free right on the container.

I called Yoplait and was told that all their flavors EXCEPT For the obvious granola were gluten-free.

Okay Now I am confused. Thier site says:

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.

And elswehre on thier site:

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.

To me that sounds like "We do not know, but have reason to belive there maybe gluten and therefor can not commit to them being gluten-free".

Cultured milk. Basically, very similar to drinkable yogurt, but the cutures are somewhat different. It seems odd the first time or two, then you get hooked. (And then you regret it when you learn you can't have dairy. :-/)

Trader Joe's carries some, Whole Foods and most other health food stores. Silk is making something similar from soy these days, but it's not the same.

I'm looking at the April 2005 list and it says

Horizon Company

All products are gluten-free (Organic cottage cheese, organic milks, organic dairy yogurts, cream cheese, just to name a few)

So now I'm confused. :unsure:

That is the CYA disclaimer that their lawyer made them put up... The person I talked to on the phone said that they have to say that, but that she felt the products were gluten free. Like I said though, I only buy the Vanilla one, and have no problems with it. I can't vouch for any of the other flavors. I do have a very sensitive gluten detector in my tummy and I can usually tell pretty instantaneously if something has gluten in it (usually) ;)

again, this is something you will have to decide for yourself it you want to risk it. It is also why I don't buy their fruit flavored ones. I would rather support a company that will clearly label. Like Cascade Fresh. I just can't get a Vanilla by them at any of the stores I shop at.

Well if Cascade was sold in my Kroger, I would be buying it. :(

Vincent, do you have a health food store near you that might carry Cascade Fresh yogurt? That is where I get mine.

I think Whole Foods carries it too.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
