Is there a substitute for butter? Or a margarine I can use? For lactose intolerant? Butter is Killin me! Or can I use the stuff for lactose intolerant? Forget the name of it off hand. Just amazes me how delicate I really am. Used to be a joke. Lol not so much anymore!

When I had to be dairy free for the first 9 months or so, (and that was awful because I LOVE cheese and BUTTAH, as we say in Boston lol.) I discovered that some margarines contain butter. Crazy, I know.  

 

I used ghee (or clarified butter) and it did not bother me. Clarifying removes the casein and the lactose. Maybe you could try that? I have always used KerryGold butter and it will render you some yummy ghee.

 

Just  a suggestion!

OMG The Ghee tastes wonderful! How easy was that to make also!! Sorry it didn't work out for you Diane :( I have not used too much of it as of yet. But it taste amazing! I have not bought that fantastic butter yet either. I just made it with good ole butter! Salted kind too! 

 

Diane my Daughter just said to me tonight you can try Coconut oil mom alot of people use that instead. Love my Coconut Oil! 

But seriously the Ghee I am hoping will do the trick. I think it has already helped!

Please don't use imitation butter, there is so much "junk" in it!!   The ghee is good and you might want to give the coconut oil a try.  Yummy! Use it just like butter.  Smear a little over some roasted veggies....good stuff!

I have never liked imitation butter or margarine , I do use Coconut oil but usually not in place of butter. I have tasted it and it doesn't really have a taste. So I will continue to cook with it but as for substitute for butter I will use my Clarified butter :) Thanks everyone. Just love it!

This may sound a bit silly, but I really don't know!  Does ghee contain whey?  Or is it rendered out?  Lactose is a problem for me, but now either casein or whey is also a problem.  I'm not sure which one is making me miserable when it's mistakenly eaten.

Ghee is clarified butter--essentially pure fat. It has no detectable lactose or casein. Whey is a by-product of cheese production, and is not found in butter or ghee.

      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.

      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?
