I would like to know whether I can safely eat this yogurt. I got this info from another board- the company sent this to a person in response to her questions regaring gluten in their products:

"we cannot certify that our production plant is 100% free of gluten since some of our productions contain gluten ; however, here are some more informations : the only Libert

It means it is almost certainly safe, but they do not test so they are covering their legal liability with a disclaimer.

thanks!

would YOU eat it? especially when just 1st starting gluten-free and needing to see if your symptoms improve? - at this point, if I got "glutened", I wouldn't know it.. I just feel like crap all the time :)

I would not eat any of the ones that have gluten or "glucous sugar derived from wheat, but no gluten". I MIGHT eat the ones that have no gluten added if they were the only option and I really wanted yogurt. To tell the truth, howeever there's so many yogurt varieties that ARE labeled gluten free and don't have as many processing risks, I probably would just not bother with this brand. They process too many varieties that do contain gluten for my comfort level. Yoplait is gltuen free here in the US, perhaps it is where you are as well? However, you might want to try cutting out dairy to see if you are casien intolerant or very lactose intolerant. I'm lactose intolerant now, but after about 6 months dairy free I could add in yogurt becaus eit has very little (if any) lactose.

During the early stages of recovery from celiac disease, your intestines are still damaged and you may experience reactions to any food, gluten-free or not. Many people react to dairy products until their villi are fully healed.

That sort of "we cannot guarantee" response is the norm for mainstream manufacturers. Whether they intentionally have gluten on site or not, most do not test their ingredients, or their finished products, for gluten contamination. Hence no guarantee.

Even those companies that DO test will have a qualifier. Glutino, for example, have no intentional gluten anywhere in their facilities. They know contamination from external sources is possible, so they test. The test they use can detect 20 parts per million gluten content. So what they can "guarantee" is that there is less than 20 ppm in their gluten-free products. The reality is that it is almost certainly zero, but you can't prove that with any test.

To answer your question, yes I would eat the product.

Yoplait brand is putting "gluten free" on many of their yogurts if you want something you know is safe. :)

Also the completely plain Faye yogurt is to die for. It's the creamiest yogurt I've ever eaten and I'm hooked on the stuff with a handful of berries.

Is it the 'Fage' yogurt you are referring to?

My husband gets a little corner of our kitchen to have bread in. That means my kitchen is a shared facility. Does that mean that nothing in my kitchen is gluten-free? No. For this reason (standard cleaning practices), I do eat foods from shared facilities. Shared equipement, perhaps not so much, depending on the food. (I don't use his cutting board for my stuff!)

It can be part of the healing process too. I am 10 months and still can't eat yogurt. Can tolerate a tablespoon or two of milk on some gluten-free oatmeal or a small amount of cheese in a casserole but no yogurt. weird.

      Blood results

      By Wends · Posted

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.

      Inconclusive results

      By Wends · Posted

      Wow, the system is crazy isn’t it? Maybe switch Doctors if you can. It’s surprising from what you’ve written it seems obvious it’s celiac disease. The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!
