...the flavoring! ;)

6) According to 21 C.F.R. S 101,22(a)(3): "[t]he terns 'natural flavor' or 'natural flavoring' means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof. Whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional."

Of course, depending on the brand, it could be caramel coloring, modified food starch, colorings, ect...

Look at the above link and read the footnotes at the bottom of the page--I really learned a lot from these footnotes!!

Wonderful!!! Here I have been eating yogurt and patting myself on the back thinking that I was ok, because it has cornstarch in it rather than food starch, and it never ocurred to me to be suspicious of the flavoring. Will I never learn??!!

Ironically, though, I don't seem to be getting any reaction from the yogurt at all, but I will stop using it, and start to get the plain, and flavor it myself. (This lifestyle really does make me appreciate allllll those conveneince foods that I can no longer eat ;) )

Thanks for the information.

there are some truly wonderful yogurts out there, though you may have to look fruther than a "regular" grocery store, depending on how froward thinking it is. My absolute favorite is Brown Cow brand. their maple flavor is good as ice cream. I think Stoneyfield Farm is also good.

I live in Canada and almost all of the Yogurts I have called about are gluten-free even the flavoured ones. Yoplait is gluten-free except for the cereal one, and Dannon is also gluten-free, and Presidents Choice is gluten-free.

Not all things with natural flavoring in them have gluten in them. You need to call the company to find out exactly what the natural flavoring is. if they can't answer the question adequately I would avoid that product. I believe Yoplait is gluten-free, except they can't guarantee the vanilla flavoring is not made with grain alcohol based vanilla, so that one might want to be avoided.

Last I heard Cascade brand was also gluten-free, but my son eats the dannon and the yoplait without any issues.

I have been in contact with Yoplait personally and they tell me all their yogurt is Gluten Free as well as kosher. Dannon, on the hand, does not certify that their yogurt is gluten free. Apparently their modified food starch may be contain wheat. :(

Royal Blue,

I'm also in Canada, which yogurts have you identified as containing gluten? Also have you been to

Dannon in the US may not be gluten free. This is from their web site:

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, oats, rye and barley. DANNON yogurt products are not formulated to contain gluten, but they cannot be considered gluten free. This is because the natural flavor system used might have ingredients added to stablilize the flavor. These ingredients can be derived from gluten sources. Since there is a current lack of consensus on individual sensitivity levels to gluten and there are no accurate tests to detect the presence and amount of gluten, DANNON'S products cannot be classified as "gluten free".

I could not find a date on the web site for when it was last updated, but since DANNON is a large company I would assume that the web site is up-to-date.

Smack; Actually, I have not found any yogurt yet that is not gluten-free. But in the town I live in, our one grocery store only sells Yoplait, Dannon and Presidents Choice.

As for Penny.ca, I have looked at the sight but find it does not help me alot because the dates are so old and possibly unreliable. I also sent them an update on some items listed as gluten-free (and no longer are) they still have not changed their web page.

Bye Tracy

Wow, thatnks for the heads up about penny.ca, I didn't know they weren't updating products that were no longer gluten-free! I think I'll also start doing the same, buying natural yogurt and flavouring it with jam. My mom used to do that, it's must be better than artifical flavours and sweetners anyway!

Have a great weekend! :D

I buy plain yogurt and add frozen blueberries, strawberries, etc. to it. Sometimes I add honey, put it in the blender and make a smoothie. It's a great lunch, quick and nutritious. Shirley

Danone cannot guarantee all of their products to be gluten free

Open Original Shared Link

Is there any gluten in Danone yogurt?

Activia yogurt (all flavors) and Silhouette Delicioso yogurt (all flavors) contain or may contain gluten. However, the manufacturing process for all our other product lines guarantees them to be entirely gluten free: Danone Creamy, Danone Classic Fruit, Silhouette 0%, Silhouette Mousse, Silhouette Smoothie, La Crme of our Yogurts, La Cr?me of our Yogurts Mousse and Petit Danone.

Note also that the list of ingredients on Activia and Silhouette Delicioso packaging mentions that these products contain gluten.

What yogurt products are gluten-free? I'm trying to find out for my grandmother who just got diagnosed. I'm lactose intolerant so I wouldn't now.

I buy yoplait and blue bunny yogurt for my daughter. I have called the companies and they both are gluten-free.-- at least the flavors i called on which are strawberry, raspberry and peach.

Blue Bunny and Yoplait are brands like Kraft and will not hide gluten on labels so all you have to do is check the label for wheat,rye,barley,oats. :D

Yep--just read labels on Yoplait--gluten won't be hidden under natural flavors and the like. I believe that all are gluten-free, unless there's some special kind with granola in the top (so, all the whips, regular, custard style, etc., etc.)

I think Yoplait is one of the only flavored yogurts that can be verified as gluten-free.

Oops...I reached the end of page one, wanted to reply about Yoplait, and didn't even see that there's a pg. 2......... <_< that's the 2nd time I've done that.

Sorry for duplicating... ;)

I saw a list that said that the Lucerne yogurts are gluten-free. Does anyone know anything different about them?

I just talked to Kim at the consumer relations department for Safeway, and she told me that all Lucerne yogurts are gluten-free. The modified food starch is made from corn.

Does anyone else eat the Lucerne brand? You get 8 oz per container vs. 6 oz for Dannon or Yoplait, and it's cheaper!

I just reverified with Kroger that their yogurts are gluten-free. We like the strawberry banana or the strawberry vanilla. At 39 cents per container, they are a great quick snack.

I called Light fat free and they told me that the modified food starch was derived from corn so if Grandma has a problem with corn don't let her have.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
