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 :)

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.
