Gluten Free Dairy Prouducts?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a brand or company that makes gluten free dairy products. Mainly yogurt and ice cream. Thankfully I do not have a intolerance to lactose or dairy. The probiotics in yogurt always seemed to settle my stomach, but I have been doing some research and found than some may contain gluten or wheat ingredients.

what do use personally? and what’s the best for taste or price?

does anyone know if dannons activia is safe? I e-mailed the company an didn’t receive a response.

Thanks for any help!!

Dannon uses a CYA response and won't say if their products are gluten-free or not. There's nothing special about Activa that Stonyfield Farms or Cascade Fresh doesn't have. Stonyfield Farms is gluten-free, and I use them sometimes, but I usually buy Cascade Fresh. It has 8 active cultures and is really tasty! I find it at the health food store, though my local megamart is carrying it, now also.

As for ice cream, a lot of Breyer's flavors are gluten-free, and they'll always list gluten. I think they're under the ConAgra umbrella. Also, Ben & Jerry's will list gluten clearly as well!

Haagan Daaz (I probably butchered the spelling) sent me out a list of their gluten-free ice creams. I don't believe they list allergy information on their packaging, I might be wrong, but I called the company and they said they send out allergy information to anyone who inquires about it. I have since lost the list. If I recall correctly there were quite a few flavors that were gluten-free, except for the obvious like Cookies and Cream, the cheesecake flavor, the one with brownies in it, and the triple chocolate because it has wheat flour in the truffles.

I know you said yogurt and ice cream, put if you dig puddings Cozy Shack lists "gluten-free" on their packaging, I think all of their flavors are gluten-free. You can find Cozy Shack in the regular grocery stores too, not just the health food stores.

      Exactly! Negative genetics can rule out celiac disease with close to 100% certainty. It takes tTg antibody testing and biopsy confirm the diagnosis in a genetically susceptible individual.

      What Dr. Gunn states is essentially true. It is a rule out measure. But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population will develop active celiac disease. It remains latent until triggered by some stress event which may or may not occur. So, there is a genetic component to celiac disease but there is also an epigenetic component.

      Have you had celiac genetic risk testing? A celiac genetic test is accurate with or without gluten in your diet. If you don't carry the celiac risk genes you can effectively rule out celiac disease for life.

      Based on those results alone, it’s not possible to say you have celiac disease. The test that is usually most specific for celiac, tTG-IgA, is negative in your results, and the endomysial antibody (EMA) is also negative, which generally argues against active celiac disease. However, your deamidated gliadin IgA is elevated, and your total IgA level is also high, which can sometimes affect how the other antibody tests behave. Another important factor is that you were reducing gluten before the test, which can lower antibody levels and make the results less reliable. Because of that, many doctors recommend a gluten challenge (eating gluten regularly for several weeks) before repeating blood tests or considering an endoscopy if symptoms and labs raise concern. It would be best to review these results with a gastroenterologist, who can interpret them in context and decide whether further testing is needed.

      Since you compromised the validity of the antibody testing by experimenting with gluten withdrawal ahead of the testing, you are faced with two options: 1. Reintroduce significant amounts of gluten into your diet for a period of weeks, i.e., undertake a "gluten challenge". The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of testing. Note: I would certainly give it more than two weeks to be sure. 2. Be willing to live with the ambiguity of not knowing whether gluten causes you problems because you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we have tests for it. Celiac disease has an autoimmune base. NCGS does not. GI symptoms overlap. In the early stages of celiac disease, other body systems may not be showing stress or damage so, symptomatically, it would be difficult to distinguish between celiac disease and NCGS. Both conditions require elimination of gluten from the diet for symptom relief. Some experts feel that NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.
