Yay Fage!

It IS daunting, but, trust your own body and its reactions and only search for the answers YOU need. Everyone's experience with this "condition" is not the same. "...just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in....."

Good health to all,

I'm going to copy and paste an email I received in October 2009 - I am in Canada - not the US

Thank you for taking the time to write to us.

Danone has only 1 lines of yogurts that contain or may contain gluten: Activia.

Some Activia flavors contains gluten and nuts, consequently, even if we do two complete rinsings between flavors, its may contain trace of nuts. This is only for the multipacks. On the other hand, the 650g containers are manufactured on different lines (no cross contamination possible between flavors).

The Activia 650g: plain, vanilla, strawberry and prune are gluten and nuts free.

All the other Danone product are gluten and nuts free.

As a guideline, we always write on the ingredients list if a yogurt contains gluten or nuts.

You can be assured of Danone's consideration for all comments and questions from its customers.

so im eating my breky this morning and i bought my self some dannon activa yogurt, ive been eating yogurt from the health food stores with no probs, but this morning i have gone to the bathroom twice allready. now im reading some conflicting stuff on the web about this yogurt but i did find a site that states it is no longer gluten-free as some of the natural flavors may accually have gluten in them. anyone have problems with this brand of yogurt. im lactose intolerant and yogurt is one thing that i can handle without having to take a lactaid so im hoping that its just this brand as yesterday i ate my stuff from the health food store with no problems.

Why is that so different from their website?

Q: Is Dannon yogurt gluten free?

A: We no longer use the term gluten free with respect to our yogurts. Instead we separate our products into gluten safe or not gluten safe categories, depending on the specific brand of Dannon yogurt. Dannon Plain yogurts (Lowfat, Nonfat and Natural) and Dannon Plain Activia (in the 24 ounce container) are all gluten safe. However, all other Dannon yogurts cannot be designated as gluten safe because we do not specifically test every ingredient or the overall finished product for gluten.

Q: Is DanActive gluten free or gluten safe?

A: No. DanActive cannot be designated as gluten safe because we do not specifically test every ingredient or the overall finished product for gluten.

I eat Yoplait. It says "gluten-free" right on the container with no wiggle words anywhere.

Dannon has more than one website depending on what country your in. That may account for the difference.

I go with Yoplait or the Wegmans brand also.

I did try Fage and it is good. I think it is better than Dannon Greek so I will do Fage from now on.

Yoplait Light is marked gluten free on the container. I think I'll stay with that.

I just found Dannon Activia Desserts. I emailed the company and have yet to get a reply. I have a feeling the yogurt I bought will be going to my co-workers. I won't take a chance given what I have read. :unsure:

Danon's site answers Activia question as of Oct 2010: Open Original Shared Link, under Danon Cares, Gluten is a protein found in wheat, oats, rye and barley.

Some people are sensitive to gluten and must eat foods that

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
