it depends on the brands...

Helleman's Real Mayo is blissfully gluten-free!

I get Publix brand yogurts, but Yoplait has a lot of gluten-free flavors... (avoid the ones with granola) There is also a brand called Cascade Fresh that clearly labels their yogurt as gluten-free.

When I read labels on yogurt - there are many that have "modified food starch" which I always stay away from. I only buy the natural yogurt. I am not sure what other ingredients in yogurt are considered to be gluten.

I only use Hellman's Real Mayo as well!!

It's been sometime since I looked into yogurts - but I believe the mod food starch has to be identified as to whether it's corn or wheat; the usual suspect is corn when in US. The manufacturer has to be contacted or do research on their website; but then you'll probably run into their CYA statement "that they cannot guarantee that their suppliers used gluten free ingredients, etc. or their equipment didn't have gluten residue, etc."

I think one of the prime offenders is Dannon brand.

My experience is low fat anything is to be avoided unless its specifically labelled gluten free.

Like most things mayo only takes a minute or so to make (with a food processor) so its not something I buy, not to mention its the sort of thing when you open it you use it and since I need to watch my calories I prefer just making it to order.

Having said that its something I'd only use free range certified eggs to make, never the factory ones where the chickens are standing in their own filth and never use an egg that is even partially cracked because this is where salmonella etc. get in..

To make a modest amount take a single egg yolk and add a pinch or two odf salt and 1-2 DROPS of oil ...

the best applicance is the hand held blender, the bigger ones only work from scratch if you have enough eggs to cover the blades... whisk until it emulsifies and add opil dropwise but never exceeding 1/2 of the volume you have already. You should get about 1/4 cup from a single egg yolk...

At this point its aoli without garlic ... you now need to 'cook' the emulsified mix with a teaspoon (or two) of lemon juice or vinegar (or half and half) and 1/2 tablespoon of warm water...

Optional is add garlic ... tarragon, mustard depending on taste...

I use Hellman's Light Mayo. It is gluten-free and has half of the fat & calories as the regular Hellman's.

Any mayonaise that is soy free? At all of my health food stores there is not one without soybean oil. Frustrating.

I use this one too. My kids like it better than the full-fat version! I was so glad it was gluten-free.

Hi Julie--Spectrum has some mayo's that don't contain soy--they're based on canola oil. Here's a link to take a look at them--

I like making my own sometimes too, but be really careful-- even when made with ultra-fresh eggs it is NOT nearly as long-keeping as the storebought sort. It goes off very quickly, so don't risk saving it for later.

Thanks Patti :)

I have always used organic spectrum olive oil mayonaise, but I recently discovered it is mixed half and half with soybean oil and olive oil. I don't know why they have to put the soybean oil in it, well....actually I do, it's cheap! But it is really maddening. My stores only carry the other Spectrum mayos that have the soybean oil, not the canola version.

In more than 4 years I've never found a light or regular mayo that isn't gluten-free. Many -- if not most -- yogurts are also gluten-free.

Agree with what Richard said.

I have never seen a mayonnaise that had gluten.

When all else fails, call the company...

It's not just that soybean oil is cheaper, but it is flavorless, unlike olive oil, and American tastes go to mayo that doesn't have any strong oil flavor.

Whole egg blender mayo

I make my own by putting 1 egg in the blender with 3/8 teaspoon salt. I replace the center of the lid with a funnel. Turn on the blender and drizzle (yes, slowly!) in 1 cup of pure olive oil. As it thickens towards the end and stops mixing, you will have to stop the blender repeatedly to stir with a spatula. When all the oil is incorporated, add 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice and stir vigorously. Keeps about 1-2 weeks, depending on the weather and the interior temperature of your refrigerator. Makes about 1-1/4 cups.

Hellman's makes a mayo with Canola oil instead of soybean oil. I think it has a pink stripe across it :)

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
