Can someone please inform as to which yorgurts are gluten free? My daughter is 5 (on a gluten free diet) and had to take antibiotic this past week. I'm concerned about yeast. I need to find one that's gluten free- preferrably organic?

Thanks :)

Don't know about organic, but I eat Yoplait (except for the cookies and crumbs).

My son & I also eat yoplait. Like mentioned above, just stay away from the obvious cookies & cream, etc.

We usually get the lemon supreme, blackberry harvest, orange dream, vanilla and raspberry.

Thank you momma goose and wolfie- you are very helpful. There was one at the grocery store that was "all natural" and vanilla flavored but I can't think of the brand. (?) I'm wondering if it's gluten-free?? I would like to stick to organic for my daughter for now.

The people on the forum were saying that dannon won't certify that they are g.f.- which is a bummer because I think they are the ones who do the "all natural" vanilla flavored at the grocery store. I called the organic market and they said that all their organics which are labeled "plain" (basically, no flavor added) are gluten free. But yuck! who wants to eat plain yogurt unless in a recipe? My 5 yr old will not eat that. :(

If anyone else has any ideas about the organics or maybe how to safely flavor the "plain" organic yogurts, please I welcome your advise.

Thanks everyone!

From your first post, I guess you are looking for something with live active cultures such as acidophilus, to help replace the healthy flora of the digestive tract, yes?

If so, then you may want to look on the container for a statement to that effect.

You can always add your own flavors to the plain stuff. Lemon, vanilla, berries, applesauce, etc. Sweeten with Stevia for an even healthier yogurt. If I recall correctly, the plain yogurts are cheaper too.

Or, you could skip the yogurt and get a probiotic supplement. Might work faster and be cheaper still.

I once found it necessary to re-balance the intestinal flora, so I used caprylic acid capsules to kill off the "bad guys" down there. Worked very well too. Once they are under control, the "good guys" usually have no problems multiplying to a sufficient level.

I buy my kids yobaby yogurt. I called and they said that their stuff is gluten free. It is also organic. As long as you don't buy the ones with cereal added. It is made by Stoneyfield Farms. They also make adult sizes in whole, lite and low fat.

I eat Cascade Fresh! Actually, I live on Cascade Fresh...three cartons a day!!!

It's fat-free, gluten-free (labeled so right on the container), has no cross-contamination risks, and contains 8 live active cultures. It's all-natural, fruit-juice sweetened, not derived from rBGH-treated cows, and available in 10 flavors. One 6-ounce container supplies 110 calories, 14% of your daily protein, and 25% of your daily calcium. Although it's distributed from Seattle, Washington, I have found it as far away as Hawaii.

Cascade Fresh: (800) 511-0057 or www.cascadefresh.com

I will not buy Dannon. I was looking at the Dannon Fit and Trim, it had gluten in it. I wouldn't trust them, they have denied safe equipment for years now.

I love Columbo yogurt, most Kroger brands are gluten-free, besides the obvious ones, Breyers is gluten-free. I have tried to get info from Axelrad here on Long Island, but they never get back to me.

Columbo is my favorite, they have a white chocolate and raspberry that is so good, but no one stocks here in my area :angry: .

I love Mountain High Yogurt. It says gluten-free on the package. It is lower in sugar than most national brands. There are several different flavors as well as plain and vanilla. It is all natural but I am not sure if it is orgainic. I get mine at King Soopers aka Kroger.

One of my daughters likes the plain with nuts and honey or maple syrup. The honey and maple are a better sugar and she uses less than the sugar that would be added.

Plain yogurt is also good with frozen blueberries ... if you mix them in while they're frozen, it's like dessert. I use plain kifir with berries, too.

I didnt think the yobaby was gluten free, and this confused me,

from the yobaby website:

Does your plain, organic yogurt contain gluten?

Two Stonyfield products, Yo Baby Plus Cereal Yogurt and Cookies and Dream Premium Ice Cream, do contain gluten. All other Stonyfield yogurt products, frozen yogurt, and ice cream do not contain any gluten source ingredients. We do not add gluten to our products; however, some of the natural flavors used to make our products may have used a grain alcohol in the extraction process.

We are still in the process of learning more about Celiac disease and have been told that some individuals are sensitive to even miniscule amounts of gluten. We have difficulty answering questions because we are concerned about giving out information to individuals who have unique and sensitive health issues without the person going through their doctor, especially since the outcome could be very serious.

I was just diagnosed last week so am still trying to find items that I can eat. Check out www.browncowfarm.com They state they are certified gluten free (except for the fruit and grain variety and possibly their smoothies). FYI.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
