...the flavoring! ;)

6) According to 21 C.F.R. S 101,22(a)(3): "[t]he terns 'natural flavor' or 'natural flavoring' means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof. Whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional."

Of course, depending on the brand, it could be caramel coloring, modified food starch, colorings, ect...

Look at the above link and read the footnotes at the bottom of the page--I really learned a lot from these footnotes!!

Wonderful!!! Here I have been eating yogurt and patting myself on the back thinking that I was ok, because it has cornstarch in it rather than food starch, and it never ocurred to me to be suspicious of the flavoring. Will I never learn??!!

Ironically, though, I don't seem to be getting any reaction from the yogurt at all, but I will stop using it, and start to get the plain, and flavor it myself. (This lifestyle really does make me appreciate allllll those conveneince foods that I can no longer eat ;) )

Thanks for the information.

there are some truly wonderful yogurts out there, though you may have to look fruther than a "regular" grocery store, depending on how froward thinking it is. My absolute favorite is Brown Cow brand. their maple flavor is good as ice cream. I think Stoneyfield Farm is also good.

I live in Canada and almost all of the Yogurts I have called about are gluten-free even the flavoured ones. Yoplait is gluten-free except for the cereal one, and Dannon is also gluten-free, and Presidents Choice is gluten-free.

Not all things with natural flavoring in them have gluten in them. You need to call the company to find out exactly what the natural flavoring is. if they can't answer the question adequately I would avoid that product. I believe Yoplait is gluten-free, except they can't guarantee the vanilla flavoring is not made with grain alcohol based vanilla, so that one might want to be avoided.

Last I heard Cascade brand was also gluten-free, but my son eats the dannon and the yoplait without any issues.

I have been in contact with Yoplait personally and they tell me all their yogurt is Gluten Free as well as kosher. Dannon, on the hand, does not certify that their yogurt is gluten free. Apparently their modified food starch may be contain wheat. :(

Royal Blue,

I'm also in Canada, which yogurts have you identified as containing gluten? Also have you been to

Dannon in the US may not be gluten free. This is from their web site:

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, oats, rye and barley. DANNON yogurt products are not formulated to contain gluten, but they cannot be considered gluten free. This is because the natural flavor system used might have ingredients added to stablilize the flavor. These ingredients can be derived from gluten sources. Since there is a current lack of consensus on individual sensitivity levels to gluten and there are no accurate tests to detect the presence and amount of gluten, DANNON'S products cannot be classified as "gluten free".

I could not find a date on the web site for when it was last updated, but since DANNON is a large company I would assume that the web site is up-to-date.

Smack; Actually, I have not found any yogurt yet that is not gluten-free. But in the town I live in, our one grocery store only sells Yoplait, Dannon and Presidents Choice.

As for Penny.ca, I have looked at the sight but find it does not help me alot because the dates are so old and possibly unreliable. I also sent them an update on some items listed as gluten-free (and no longer are) they still have not changed their web page.

Wow, thatnks for the heads up about penny.ca, I didn't know they weren't updating products that were no longer gluten-free! I think I'll also start doing the same, buying natural yogurt and flavouring it with jam. My mom used to do that, it's must be better than artifical flavours and sweetners anyway!

Have a great weekend! :D

I buy plain yogurt and add frozen blueberries, strawberries, etc. to it. Sometimes I add honey, put it in the blender and make a smoothie. It's a great lunch, quick and nutritious. Shirley

Danone cannot guarantee all of their products to be gluten free

Open Original Shared Link

Is there any gluten in Danone yogurt?

Activia yogurt (all flavors) and Silhouette Delicioso yogurt (all flavors) contain or may contain gluten. However, the manufacturing process for all our other product lines guarantees them to be entirely gluten free: Danone Creamy, Danone Classic Fruit, Silhouette 0%, Silhouette Mousse, Silhouette Smoothie, La Crme of our Yogurts, La Cr?me of our Yogurts Mousse and Petit Danone.

Note also that the list of ingredients on Activia and Silhouette Delicioso packaging mentions that these products contain gluten.

What yogurt products are gluten-free? I'm trying to find out for my grandmother who just got diagnosed. I'm lactose intolerant so I wouldn't now.

I buy yoplait and blue bunny yogurt for my daughter. I have called the companies and they both are gluten-free.-- at least the flavors i called on which are strawberry, raspberry and peach.

Blue Bunny and Yoplait are brands like Kraft and will not hide gluten on labels so all you have to do is check the label for wheat,rye,barley,oats. :D

Yep--just read labels on Yoplait--gluten won't be hidden under natural flavors and the like. I believe that all are gluten-free, unless there's some special kind with granola in the top (so, all the whips, regular, custard style, etc., etc.)

I think Yoplait is one of the only flavored yogurts that can be verified as gluten-free.

Oops...I reached the end of page one, wanted to reply about Yoplait, and didn't even see that there's a pg. 2......... <_< that's the 2nd time I've done that.

Sorry for duplicating... ;)

I saw a list that said that the Lucerne yogurts are gluten-free. Does anyone know anything different about them?

I just talked to Kim at the consumer relations department for Safeway, and she told me that all Lucerne yogurts are gluten-free. The modified food starch is made from corn.

Does anyone else eat the Lucerne brand? You get 8 oz per container vs. 6 oz for Dannon or Yoplait, and it's cheaper!

I just reverified with Kroger that their yogurts are gluten-free. We like the strawberry banana or the strawberry vanilla. At 39 cents per container, they are a great quick snack.

I called Light fat free and they told me that the modified food starch was derived from corn so if Grandma has a problem with corn don't let her have.

      Inhaler problem

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic acid accumulation caused by the inhalers: Shoshin beriberi provoked by the inhalation of salbutamol https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12951730/    Significant Lactic Acidosis from Albuterol https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5965110/ Albuterol-Induced Type B Lactic Acidosis: Not an Uncommon Finding https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7263006/ Lessons of the month 1: Salbutamol induced lactic acidosis: clinically recognised but often forgotten https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6964186/ An Overview of Type B Lactic Acidosis Due to Thiamine (B1) Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10731935/   Thiamine has antifungal and antibacterial properties.  Thiamine helps keep Candida in check.  Thiamine helps keep SIBO in check.  Thiamine helps with black mold, Aspergillis infection.  Riboflavin helps fight Candida infection in the mouth. Riboflavin Targets the Cellular Metabolic and Ribosomal Pathways of Candida albicans In Vitro and Exhibits Efficacy against Oropharyngeal Candidiasis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36625571/   Thiamine deficiency can make ones voice hoarse and can cause localized edema.  Niacin deficiency can make ones voice hoarse.  (Niacin deficiency and Thiamine deficiency can each cause irritability, agitation, and lability.) Hoarseness in pellagra https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21507655/ Hidden Hunger: A Pellagra Case Report https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8152714/   Anesthesia can cause B12 deficiency.  B12 deficiency can show up as mouth sores and geographic tongue, diarrhea, and dementia. Vitamin deficiency, a neglected risk factor for post-anesthesia complications: a systematic review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11823251/ Neurologic degeneration associated with nitrous oxide anesthesia in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8250714/ Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord following nitrous oxide anesthesia: A systematic review of cases https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30144777/ The Effect of Vitamin B12 Infusion on Prevention of Nitrous Oxide-induced Homocysteine Increase: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4052402/     Eating a diet that is heavy in carbohydrates can precipitate a thiamine deficiency.  As the amount of carbohydrates consumed increases, additional thiamine is needed, otherwise the carbs will be stored as fat.   Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/   The deficiency symptoms of some of the B vitamins cause gastrointestinal symptoms that resemble the same symptoms as when being glutened.   Thiamine deficiency can present as vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain (Gastrointestinal Beriberi).  Niacin deficiency can present as diarrhea (Pellagra = diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, then death ).  B12 deficiency can present as diarrhea or dementia.  Not everything is caused by hidden gluten.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing foods are. Blood tests are not accurate measurements of vitamin levels, but do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with the eight B vitamins, Vitamin C, the four fat soluble vitamins and minerals like magnesium.  Your physician can give you a shot of B12 before anesthesia administration.   By the way, Celiac Disease genes have been traced back to having originated in Neanderthals.  I'm not a singing teacher on the net.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins are doing inside the body.  I've experienced nutritional deficiencies myself. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      How long after being diagnosed with Celiac do you feel better?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @jnstefan! She should start feeling better within a week or two if she is truly avoiding gluten and if she isn't also showing intolerance to other foods. It is quite common for celiacs to be dairy intolerant (not just the lactose but the protein casein in dairy) and to oats (protein is avenin). Casein and avenin have structures similar to gluten. We call this cross reactivity (not to be confused with cross contamination). So, you might look at pulling these two food items from her diet to see if there is improvement. But achieving a gluten free state is more challenging than people realize when the first start in. It is hidden in so many foods you would never expect to find it in like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, just to site two examples. This might help:

      By jnstefan · Posted

      My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac 2 weeks ago. We've been on gluten free diet now for 2 weeks. She still experiences abdominal pain at times , and is struggling with fatigue. What is everyone's experience with how long it takes for the body to heal and stabilize after starting the gluten free diet? Thanks for any feedback!

      thank you for the insight  Thank a small elevation can be due to this or is it more likely to be cross contamination ?
