Mainstream gluten-free Yogurt?

I am having trouble finding gluten free mainstream yogurt. My daughter wants to eat yogurt for breakfast, and the gluten-free stuff from the health food store is too expensive to be a staple. It's like $2.50 for a little thingy of it. At the grocery store I found Yoplait for 50 cents for a larger size, but it says modified food starch and I can't seem to get ahold of the company.

Please Help.

In Canada all Yoplait is gluten free except I think there's a cookie or oatmeal or something cookie-ish flavour, and that isn't gluten-free. I got an email response from Yoplait in August and I'm pretty sure the cookie kind came out after that. I'm at work, so I can't post the response. Also, I think pretty much all the Superstore (regular and Organics) are gluten-free, but I'm not 100% sure.

Can you tell I'm not a yogurt eater? I get my son the Yoplait tubes and buy the Yoplait source plain as an ingredient in buns from time to time.

I live in the western US and we have Mountain High yoghurt in most stores...it's gluten-free and also flavored with fructose and very healthy! It tastes great. So far I've only seen it in the large carton, but a big carton of strawberry usually costs just under $2.00.

I eat Yoplait all the time. They will plainly list any gluten ingredients - the only Yoplait flavors that I've seen with gluten in them are the granola mix-ins. Yoplait and Columbo both do this, and I eat both regularly (depending on which is on sale!) Hope that helps!

I got a reply from Blue Bunny yogurt yesterday. They stated that all of their yogurt is gluten free. I have found this brand at Walmart. Hope that helps.

wait im confused, eeyor fan said that all stoneyfield farms flavors (except fudge) are gluten-free and this sounds like only the plain one is? I know only plain Dannon is but can you confirm Stoneyfield vanilla yogurt is gluten-free? I almost bought it yesterday but didnt b/c i remembered something about this post that confused me :)

Dannon & Stonyfield state on their websites they cannot quarantee their yogurts are gluten free due to some sort of process. They may just be covering their asses but who knows? Yoplait is one of the only mainstream yougurts I researched that stated they were gluten free except for the obvious ones with cookies or granola etc.

they may have changed their policy...but when i cked on stoneyfield the only kind they could say gluten-free for sure was the plain--that all the various flavors may or may not have had gluten involved in their processing. (Just cked their site) okay, I pasted info off their website below. they seem to changed their tune a bit since i last checked on them... now they say their flavors should be gluten-free.

Does your plain, organic yogurt contain gluten?

Two Stonyfield products, Yo Baby Plus Cereal Yogurt and Brownie Sundae 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.

Thanks Jenvan, thats not comforting though! i will not be using stoneyfield- i mean, arent natural flavors the exact thing we are concerned about with yogurt? Im not stupid enough to think that a yogurt w/ cookie crunchies on it is gluten-free! The only thing that i know of that makes yogurt questionable is the natural flavors (at least thats the case for dannon) It sounds like Stoneyfield has no clue whats in their products. Im not a big fan of yoplait, but i guess I'm gonna have to be!

If the CYA statement comes from grain alcohol used for extracting flavors, I don't worry about it. Grain alcohol is distilled, and hence gluten-free. Not to mention the vast majority of cheap distilled alcohol for flavor extraction is corn based.

Looking back at the first post, I thought I should add that Yoplait will clearly list all gluten on the label (i.e. will not hide under flavorings, modified food starch, etc.)

I use Stoneyfield yogurts with no problems, it's just a CYA statement because their lawyers are making them use it... (at least that is what the rep I talked to said)... the girl I talked to on the phone also said she had Celiac, and she eats most of their flavors with no problem.

But also, Yoplait will clearly label any wheat, oats, barley or rye in their yogurt.

I heard a rumor that Publix brand yogurt was gluten free? Can anyone confirm that?

thank you, that is good to know.

Thank all of you for helping :D

I think I am going with Yoplait, it's readily available here and I like to support companies that don't hide gluten.

As far as Stonyfieldf Farms, I am annoyed with their answer, not so much that they don't know but that they suggested "asking your doctor", how the heck would my doctor know? I got that from some nut at crayola one day, I called to ask about their modeling clay, and she said, "you need to ask your doctor about it, because we can't tell you what is in it", I mean if the people at crayola can't tell me the ingredients and they make the stuff how is my GI supposed to know?

btw I have since been able to get ahold of someone at Crayola that could help me. ;)

I just started buying this yogurt at my health food co op... It is clearly labeled gluten free and quite delicious.

I am trying to make a concious effort to support companies that clearly label gluten free.

Trader Joe's Organic Cream Line yogurt is really good and reasonably priced. It doesn't list any gluten ingredients but does say it is processed in a facility that uses soy. I haven't had any problems with it.

If it was, it would have a gluten-free on the product, and the shelve.

Please be aware that this is a very old thread and ingredients could very well have changed since 2006.

Because corn is a problem for me, I only buy Dannon plain and add my own crushed fresh blueberries or other fruit. Healthier and tastier, and I can control how much (if any) sugar I put in it.

I have also just discovered that there is a LOT of nutrition in dried herbs like basil and thyme. I'm going to try using some Dannon plain with some garlic and herbs to make my own salad dressing.

      Welcome to the forum, @Emma2322! Can you give us some context here? This online community exists to support those with gluten-related disorders such as celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. Does your cousin suffer from a gluten-related disorder?

      No crypt hyperplasia but there's lymphocytic infiltration and villi atrophy?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to this online community, @Mina H! 1. Apart from any consideration of crypt hyperplasia, villous atrophy is the hallmark of celiac disease. There are some other things that can cause villous atrophy such as an intolerance to cow's milk protein (CMP), chronic NSAID use, a certain blood pressure med, certain parasitic intestinal infections and a few other medical conditions but they are relatively unlikely compared to celiac disease being the cause, especially in view of the accompanying symptoms you list. 2. The endoscopy with biopsy is still considered to be the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis, not blood antibody testing. Blood antibody testing is in some ways the "rule out" step for determining whether or not to move on to the second and more definitive stage of diagnosis, namely, the endoscopy/biopsy. There is a movement afoot to diagnose celiac disease based on blood antibody testing alone but only when the TTG-IGA score reach 10x mormal. 3. All the symptoms you describe are classic and scream of celiac disease. If your healthcare system in Japan is unable or unwilling to grant you an official diagnosis based on the biopsy results and your symptoms, your next step would be to engage with the gluten free diet and see if your symptoms improve over a period of weeks/months.

      My name is Emma and I'm 36. I am here to learn about IVF treatment because my cousin is going to do her IVF but I heard from many people it's very hazardous. Could anybody tell me if she should go for treatment or not?

      No crypt hyperplasia but there's lymphocytic infiltration and villi atrophy?

      By Mina H · Posted

      Hi. My biopsy results just came back and it's a little confusing. Here's what the report says (I translated it myself from Japanese): Biopsy report -Chronic duodenitis -The mucosa shows mild to moderate lymphocytic infiltration, and the villi are partially shortened and atrophic. -Mild lymphocytic infiltration is seen in the surface and crypt epithelium. -Crypt hyperplasia is not clearly present, but the findings are considered not inconsistent with celiac disease. (My note: Japanese people like this kind of statement) -No findings of granulomas, specific infectious disease, or malignancy are observed   The GI said he didn't see anything special during the upper endoscopy but sent samples (not sure how many samples he took) for biopsy. 1. So, my question is, does the biopsy report makes sense? (Villi atrophy and lymphocytes are present, but no clear crypt hyperplasia? Can it still be considered MARSH 3a (because of villi atrophy?) and therefore suggestive of Celiac?   I have to say, althought not completely gluten free, recently, I've been trying to avoid gluten when cooking for myself but I would eat pizza or cheese cake or cookies or pasta now and then, maybe at least one-two times a week. I'm quite shocked because ever since I learned that I have a Celiac gene, althought not strict complete gluten free, I really tried not to eat bread or pasta or pizza every meal or everyday (even changed my soy souce to flour-free Tamari sauce), but it was enough to damage the villi. I think many Asian condiments contain gluten, even some vinegar in Japan... 2. Another question is the biopsy result alone enough to confirm I am Celiac, since getting a blood test is not readily available and expensive to do in the country I'm living in (Japan)? Or should I continue eating gluten and wait 8 weeks and pay out-of-pocket for the antibodies test too (super expensive to me though ($500 USD, even endoscopy is practically free/cheap here) because the blood draw will be done by a clinic in Tokyo, but the sample has to be sent to a US lab)? Hoever, I live very far from Tokyo or large cities so there will also be travel costs. *** Background Info: I'm Asian female living in Japan where Celiac is thought to be very rare, so the blood test for antibodies is not readily available even through doctors. I'm not Japanese, by the way. I learned several years ago that I am HLA-DQ2.5 positive (heterozygous). Symptoms: Recently, I've been feeling off whenever I ate something with gluten. But the symptoms were vague like having to run into bathroom, constipation (I suppose more constipation than diarrhea), brain fog/dizziness, tiredness/daytime sleepiness, gassy/bloating or cramps, random abdominal pain (I thought it was due to ovulation or something). I thought it was IBS or something. I also had acid reflux sometimes, successfully controlled or healed through acid watcher's diet etc. The most problematic symptom for me was acid reflux or LPR/silent reflux (I did a Peptest and there was pepsin detected in my saliva even when I didn't particularly felt heartburn!), I thought it was because I ate dark chocolate and drank spearmint tea everyday so stopped. Reflux is why I went to the GI to ask for uppper endoscopy.
