it depends on the brands...

Helleman's Real Mayo is blissfully gluten-free!

I get Publix brand yogurts, but Yoplait has a lot of gluten-free flavors... (avoid the ones with granola) There is also a brand called Cascade Fresh that clearly labels their yogurt as gluten-free.

When I read labels on yogurt - there are many that have "modified food starch" which I always stay away from. I only buy the natural yogurt. I am not sure what other ingredients in yogurt are considered to be gluten.

I only use Hellman's Real Mayo as well!!

It's been sometime since I looked into yogurts - but I believe the mod food starch has to be identified as to whether it's corn or wheat; the usual suspect is corn when in US. The manufacturer has to be contacted or do research on their website; but then you'll probably run into their CYA statement "that they cannot guarantee that their suppliers used gluten free ingredients, etc. or their equipment didn't have gluten residue, etc."

I think one of the prime offenders is Dannon brand.

My experience is low fat anything is to be avoided unless its specifically labelled gluten free.

Like most things mayo only takes a minute or so to make (with a food processor) so its not something I buy, not to mention its the sort of thing when you open it you use it and since I need to watch my calories I prefer just making it to order.

Having said that its something I'd only use free range certified eggs to make, never the factory ones where the chickens are standing in their own filth and never use an egg that is even partially cracked because this is where salmonella etc. get in..

To make a modest amount take a single egg yolk and add a pinch or two odf salt and 1-2 DROPS of oil ...

the best applicance is the hand held blender, the bigger ones only work from scratch if you have enough eggs to cover the blades... whisk until it emulsifies and add opil dropwise but never exceeding 1/2 of the volume you have already. You should get about 1/4 cup from a single egg yolk...

At this point its aoli without garlic ... you now need to 'cook' the emulsified mix with a teaspoon (or two) of lemon juice or vinegar (or half and half) and 1/2 tablespoon of warm water...

Optional is add garlic ... tarragon, mustard depending on taste...

I use Hellman's Light Mayo. It is gluten-free and has half of the fat & calories as the regular Hellman's.

Any mayonaise that is soy free? At all of my health food stores there is not one without soybean oil. Frustrating.

I use this one too. My kids like it better than the full-fat version! I was so glad it was gluten-free.

Hi Julie--Spectrum has some mayo's that don't contain soy--they're based on canola oil. Here's a link to take a look at them--

I like making my own sometimes too, but be really careful-- even when made with ultra-fresh eggs it is NOT nearly as long-keeping as the storebought sort. It goes off very quickly, so don't risk saving it for later.

Thanks Patti :)

I have always used organic spectrum olive oil mayonaise, but I recently discovered it is mixed half and half with soybean oil and olive oil. I don't know why they have to put the soybean oil in it, well....actually I do, it's cheap! But it is really maddening. My stores only carry the other Spectrum mayos that have the soybean oil, not the canola version.

In more than 4 years I've never found a light or regular mayo that isn't gluten-free. Many -- if not most -- yogurts are also gluten-free.

Agree with what Richard said.

I have never seen a mayonnaise that had gluten.

When all else fails, call the company...

It's not just that soybean oil is cheaper, but it is flavorless, unlike olive oil, and American tastes go to mayo that doesn't have any strong oil flavor.

Whole egg blender mayo

I make my own by putting 1 egg in the blender with 3/8 teaspoon salt. I replace the center of the lid with a funnel. Turn on the blender and drizzle (yes, slowly!) in 1 cup of pure olive oil. As it thickens towards the end and stops mixing, you will have to stop the blender repeatedly to stir with a spatula. When all the oil is incorporated, add 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice and stir vigorously. Keeps about 1-2 weeks, depending on the weather and the interior temperature of your refrigerator. Makes about 1-1/4 cups.

Hellman's makes a mayo with Canola oil instead of soybean oil. I think it has a pink stripe across it :)

      any advice would be helpful

      Were the two tests done by the same lab? Do the tests have the same normal ranges?  Each test manufacturer uses their own system of units when reporting results. Have your results gone down at all since diagnosis?  Are you sure you’re gluten free? Do you eat at restaurants? I would recommend that you take a really good look at your gluten free diet. It took six years for me to get all my results down to the normal range (I was originally positive for TTG IgA, TTG IgG, DGP IgA, DGP IgG and EMA). I started just avoiding wheat, rye and barley.  My results came down but one was still high.  Then I made sure any processed foods were labeled gluten free.  My results came down more but one was stubbornly positive.  Then I would only eat processed foods if certified gluten free or from a manufacturer with an excellent reputation among those with celiac disease.  All my results were finally normal. My results went back up a little when I started doing a lot of baking with a reputable but not certified gluten free flour.  When I switched to certified gluten free flour my results went back down to normal.

      is Kirkland Imported French Brie gluten freeL

      As a more generalized response to your question, I've been contacting Costco customer service for several Kirkland products because they are either unlabeled or contain the generic warning label about being packaged in a facility that handles all major food allergens. Each time I ask, my question is assigned to a specific person who researches it and emails me an actionable response that says, more or less, "no risk", "possible risk", or "definite risk". All of the answers have the caveat in the example below. Also, they recommend that you buy the product, submit the question ***with the lot # of your purchase*,** and then return it if you don't like the risk profile. This is because some products are made at different facilities with different risk profiles. Here is an example of a recent email response: "This is [name] with the Costco Member Service Resolutions Team. I am happy to let you know we got a reply back from our Kirkland Signature team. Here is their response: This item is gluten free. This information reflects the sender's knowledge on the date the information is being provided. Ingredients and processes are subject to change without notice. I hope this satisfies your inquiry about  [product name and stock #]. If you have a follow up question for me about this item please don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to help! If I do not hear back from you within 48 hours I will consider this case closed. " Like pretty much every food source, you have to decide who you trust and then live with that. I tend to trust these responses because a person investigates it, their answers are detailed (not generic), and also because sometimes they say "nah, don't eat it". Hope this helps.

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There are thirteen essential vitamins:  eight B vitamins, four fat soluble vitamins, and Vitamin C.  They all work together.   If you are deficient in one, you are probably low in the other dozen.  Celiac Disease affects the absorption of all the vitamins, and the dozen or so essential minerals, as well.  Cobalamine Vitamin B12, needs Folate B9 and Pyridoxine B6 to function properly.  Pyridoxine B6 needs Riboflavin B2.  Vitamin C is needed to interact with B12 as well.  Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 are also needed to provide the energy for these vitamins to function properly.  If one is also low in Folate and Pyridoxine, B12 Cobalamine is not going to be able to function properly and the body doesn't bother to absorb it.   Vitamin D is safe even in high doses.  Vitamin D3 should be supplemented.  Vitamin D2 is not as well utilized because it's synthetic, not a form the body can utilize easily.  Vitamin D must be activated by Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Insufficient Thiamine B1 will make one feel "dopey".  Thiamine is needed for brain function.  The brain uses as much energy just thinking as your muscles do while running a marathon.   Multivitamins do not contain sufficient amounts of essential vitamins to correct nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with ALL eight B vitamins, extra Thiamine (don't use the form thiamine mononitrate because it's not absorbed nor utilized well), Vitamin C and the four fat soluble vitamins will be more beneficial than just supplementing one or two vitamins by themselves. With sufficient amounts of essential vitamins, the immune system gets regulated and becomes less reactive to other things like pollen, molds and animal dander.  Sleep apnea is frequently found in Thiamine insufficiency.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.  The B vitamins all work together.  Supplement them together.

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By Michelle Amirault-Packard · Posted

      He should definitely have his vitamin D and Vitamin B12 checked.  I have celiac and i always felt tired, sometimes i described it as dopy.My vitamin D is always low at times extremely low which can affect you. But  I also did some research and contacted my doctor to see if she checked my Vitamin B12 and She said she didn’t check my vitamin B-12 because a wasn’t Anemic and the normal protocol is , if you are not Anemic they don’t test for B-12.  She had no problem doing the test for me and it came back super super deficient . So I was given a shot of B12 once a week for 4 weeks and I give myself 1 shot intramuscular once a month now for 18 years. Once your B12 is low it can take a long time to bring it back up and sustain it. I think it took about 6 months to get a decent number and about a year to get it right. I do get my Vitamin D checked but not yearly more like every other year because it is a more expensive test and I tend to always be low. I do take a vitamin D supplement but I would talk to your doctor before taking a supplement to make sure you don’t take too much especially if you are already taking a multivitamin. Because too much D can also have some bad side effects.  Celiacs tend to be able to take a higher dose due to our digestive and malabsorption issues but always talk to your doctor before taking. Other things could be making him feel extremely tired  like new allergies like pollens, animals, molds etc.. sleep apnea is a huge one( cause extreme fatigue) and some medications. Just other things he can have checked! Good luck
