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 :)

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
