Chobani and Over a Dozen Top Gluten-Free Yogurt Brands
Celiac.com 04/29/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. We recently answered a question about Chobani yogurt, which offers numerous gluten-free options.
But that answer has brought other questions about what other yogurt brands are gluten-free? Since yogurt is just milk cultured with friendly bacteria. Since milk is naturally gluten-free, and the yogurt cultures are gluten-free, most yogurt, including Chobani, will be naturally gluten-free.
So, any yogurt that has not had gluten added to it is very likely naturally gluten-free, whether or not it is labeled and certified. The good news is that numerous major yogurt brands offer gluten-free products, many of which, like Chobani, are certified gluten-free. ...

  How to diagnose NCGS / false positive Celiac / extreme fatigue, night terrors
  
  I was drafting a reply when trents' reply came in, and I concur with everything he says. I was going to say, @jayjays that, based on what you wrote, it seems that the sequence of testing events was not correct. You need to still be eating gluten even for the blood tests. If your goal is to find out if you have Celiac, then that is what you need to do...

  How to diagnose NCGS / false positive Celiac / extreme fatigue, night terrors
  
  Welcome to the forum, @jayjays! Was the tTG-IGA the only celiac antibody test done? A more complete panel should have been ordered. Had you been eating gluten free or reduced gluten at the time of the blood draw? Your symptoms all scream of celiac disease but in order to get confirmation indeed, you would need to return to a gluten rich diet (4...

  Adverse effects from figs...???
  
  Hi all, I've suddenly got a skin rash on my leg that might be dermatitis herpetiformis...can figs trigger this? Has anyone else had a similar reaction to eating figs? And if so, what did you do to treat it? Or did it go away on its own after a few days? At the moment I'm just icing it and hoping it dissipates. Many thanks, Charlotte

  Hi Celiac Forum, I am new here, and hope this is the right place to post my question and find some orientation. I am looking for ways to diagnose what the hell is wrong with me. I tested negative for Celiac (I think it was a tTG-IgA) but have bizarre symptoms when eating gluten. Here is my story in a nutshell: throughout my 30s (now...

  Still Having Issues, Dont know Why
  
  So sorry that you're going through this during your college years. The first year or two of this is the hardest. The Drs. don't seem to know that there's a recovery phase that requires more than going gluten free. Coffee and lactose should be avoided. You need to calm the system down. Start your day with ginger tea. Basic Culture grain free bread instead...
