Greek Yogurt? Yogurt That's Safe?

Hi everyone.

Does anyone know if Fage Greek yogurt is okay? (plain- says just pasteurized milk and probiotics) I just tasted 3 tables recklessly and, oh my word, is it good! I hope it's okay. Any info is much appreciated. Or if you know a safe plain brand that doesn't have pectin in it which all the U.S. yogurts seem to now. (When did they start doing that?!)

Thank you everyone and thank you those of you who gave me "flu" advice- that was a hideous bug, that was... today is my first day without a high fever in a week. Now taking Zithromax because it left me with sinus infection and want to replace the good bacteria- hence, looking for a safe yogurt...

Yep, Fage's fine. I love it too :) Even if you get the fat free it's sooo creamy. Try it with a spoonful of honey and some fruit, or preserves. mmmm :P

If you read the ingredients and they didn't list wheat, barley, or rye, I don't see how that could be considered reckless. What's wrong with pectin?

Thank you, everyone. Yes, SINFUL! Wicked! What a delight!

Pectin just has always bothered me and they didn't used to put it in yogurt. Plain, anyway. I know it naturally occurs in fruits but somehow when it's added it gives me a funky feeling in my mouth.

Have a good day everyone!

Hi there!

ΦΑΓΕ (fage)is ok at least for me....and me I am lactose intolerant but when I was eating it I never had a gluten or a lactose problem.....Fage has the BEST yoghurt...I used to eat it with melt chocolate (merenda or nutella is the thrademark here) or with huge spoons of sugar.....Do try that chocolate thing....You can also eat your rice with yoghurt (really tasty) or make tzatziki.

kisses from ΦΑΓΕ- land!!

Thank you, Meline,

I am half Greek. My family is from Kalamata and Constantine in the Peloponnesses. I have not been to Greece since 1980 but hope to go back one day again. My Mom is French so it's quite a combo!

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
