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.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
