Walmart Great Value Yogurt

Hi everyone,

I've started eating dairy again and was really looking forward to the Great Value brand yogurts from Walmart. I know that most Great Value products state "gluten free" on the label if it is verified so, and they also state allergens. I was surprised to see that the Great Value yogurts do not state gluten free on the label, but only identify soy as an allergen in the product. Because they *do* label most of the gluten free products "gluten free" I'm nervous to eat anything that doesn't say so on the package.

Which brings me to my question: how do I get a hold of Walmart to ask? I've done a million google searches and have spent more time than I think it's worth on the walmart website looking for a phone number, but to no avail. Does anyone have their phone number handy?

Thanks!!!!

Great Value yogurts are probably not gluten-free (according to Walmart) because they have modified food starch which COULD be from Wheat or Barley. They claim that when it is gluten-free they mark it and in that case it would also say modified CORN or TAPIOCA starch.

Many many yogurts that are Low Fat have food starch that COULD be from barley/wheat.

SO, I only eat yogurts that say CORN starch - which includes Dannon Fruit-on-the-Bottom and Breyers Fruit on the Bottom and Dannon extra Creamy.

Basically the only yogurt I can find at my Walmart is the Breyer Fruit on the Bottom, so that's what I eat (or the Dannon FOTB from another store).

I just don't chance it anymore - been burned too many times with "FOOD Starch"

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Yes this is very frustrating for me ... not sure what to think.  Feels like I'm having reactions to a lot of things  Now applesauce?? I don't understand 😞

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you
