Regular Vs All Natural Peanut Butter

I started trying the All Natural Peanut Butter to ensure it was gluten-free but it always gives me gaz and it seems as if the more often I eat it the worse it gets, yet it only happens when I eat All-Natural Butter ,doesn't matter if it's peanut or almond butter or any other nuts. I tried other brands in the past before and I felt the same. I never had any digestion issue when I ate the regular one and I never get digestions issues from eating plain nuts either. My concern was does anyone know why this could be? Also are there any non all natural that would be gluten free? I read peanut butter is naturally gluten free but it can sometime be cross contaminated, I really love peanut butter and never had a digestion issue until I try the All natural bands.

I've also never seen peanut butter with gluten, but it is up to each of us to check each product to our satisfaction. There are many brands of peanut butter, regular and natural. Much to my husband's disappointment, I discovered Justin's nut butters last year. (He's just pissy about the cost. :lol:) They are all natural, certified gluten free and have a texture unlike anything else I've ever had due to a different process the company uses to grind the nuts. Since my first taste in a peanut butter cup, I have sworn off all other nut butters. Many stores sell these in single serve packets that you could try to see if they cause the same issue. I would suggest maybe trying a few brands and seeing if there is one that works for you. No suggestions really on why it is happening.

One thing that strike my mind is the All Natural Peanut butter, it is very thick like rock and can be even hard to eat as it feel like a giant paste with lots of oil in it and unlike regular butter, it is very soft and also much easier to swallow. With all natural one I need a lot of water to swallow it properly unlike regular which cause no difficult on any level.

Listen to your body, when our body react to things, bloating, pain, intestinal issues, etc. that's our body's way of saying something is not agreeing with me.. it could be the oil used, it could an additive in it, all "natural"  "flavor preserver", it could be cross contamination issues.. as you clean your system from gluten little amounts will effect you, and you may start noticing other foods that you may be reacting to, in this case PB. which it doesn't mean you will never be able to eat PB again- if in fact that's the case, you just have to heal and repair your guts first then try again. Listen to your body! feel better.

If you have a good blender or Vita Mix it is very easy to make your own.

i usually go for the brand with the least ingredients :)  smuckers natural works for me.  it's like:  peanuts.  salt.  the end.  it is a little bit granier, and i keep it in the fridge.  lolz - when it is cold it *is* like a rock  :P

 

i had trouble digesting *everything* in the beginning (AND I FREAKED!  thinking there was gluten hidden everywhere)  and i kept a food journal - you might have to skip some things if you have just recently started gluten free.  you can try to add them back in later.  i have a secondary sensitivity to soy, so i have to watch out for soybean oil, etc.  

 

(justin's IS delicious and a bit smoother than the smuckers - they sell it in packets so you can try it without being stuck with a big jar of something you can't eat -  oh my bob, the chocolate hazelnut is fabulous - and no soy - yessss!)(fyi - you can just squeeze it from the packet right into mouth......  not like i ever *did* that or anything......... ^_^ )

The chocolate any-nut is fabulous! It will make you forget Nutella ever existed. (Not that I ever cared for that crap anyway. Kind of ick if you ask me.) While nuts and I are not the bestest of friends, the packets are standbys for day long outings.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
