Dannon Yogurt

So, apparently my favorite apple cinnamon yogurt is not gluten free. Here's what the Dannon website says.

Q: Is Dannon yogurt gluten free? A: We no longer use the term gluten free with respect to our yogurts. Instead we separate our products into gluten safe or not gluten safe categories, depending on the specific brand of Dannon yogurt. Dannon Plain yogurts (Lowfat, Nonfat and Natural) are all gluten safe. However, all other Dannon yogurts cannot be designated as gluten safe because the natural flavor systems used might have ingredients added to stabilize the flavor. The stabilizing ingredients may be derived from gluten sources. Additionally, we now produce Light & Fit Crave Control yogurt, a product which contains wheat. In fact you will find that we have labeled both the overwrap and foil of these products with the following: "Contains milk and wheat."

Q: Is DanActive gluten free or gluten safe? A: DANACTIVE Plain (in limited distribution) is gluten safe.

Mainstream Breakfast Foods

Great mainstream breakfast foods include: fruit, yogurt, eggs, bacon, and home fries.

All fruits are GF.

edit 5/21:
*check out my post abut dannon- not all yogurts are gluten free.

Chips and Salsa

Chips and salsa are good options. I can eat corn chips, potato chips, cheese puffs, etc. Things to look out for are chips with fancy seasonings. As I find specific chips I can eat I'll list them here.

Salsa is also usually a good GF option. My favorite salsa is Nature's Promise (Giant brand) mild organic salsa.

Brands:
Tostitos
Lays- Wavy original
Utz- Salt and Vinegar chips, Cheese Popcorn

Amy's Kitchen

Amy's Kitchen has almost 70 gluten free products. Thus far I've only tried the soups. They're expensive when compared to "normal" soup, but compared to going out for lunch they're cheap. Plus they're tasty and have great natural ingredients.

Pasta

When I first went GF I tried several different pastas. I tried a corn pasta as well as a couple rice pastas. The corn pasta I tried was barely edible. Tinkyada (made from rice) and the Trader Joe versions are by far the best I've had. Trader Joes is cheaper. I've been buying Tinkyada lately just b/c I get to Whole Foods more than Trader Joes. I like the shells, spirals, and elbows. I've used them in speghetti and mac-n-cheese. I tried them in soup once and they got all mushy.

Old El Paso Stand 'N Stuff Taco Dinner Kit

Old El Paso is known to be a company that will clearly label gluten in its products. This product does have partially hydrogenated soybean oil, MSG, and maltodextrin.

• Maltodextrin and MSG if made in North America is most likelyGF.
• Partially hydrogenated anything just isn't good for you, but isn't a GF issue.

I also used 100% ground beef, lettuce, and Sargento Fancy sharp cheddar.

Healthier Option:
Taco shell w/o partially hydrogenated oil and make own seasoning mix (no maltodextrin or MSG). Substitute chicken for ground beef.
