Can anybody recommend to me the best place to buy these? Do you buy online or in a grocery store? Thanks in advance.

I bought them at " health food stores", groceries and Target. I have seen some coconut ones, too.

Mine has them with the PB .

Not as many flavors as Whole Foods or Natural Grocers.

I'm not really concerned about variety. The main thing is I want to find ones that aren't too expensive.

Individual servings of anything are going to be expensive.  They sell tiny plastic containers with snap on lids, I am sure some of those would be suitable for nut butters.

Every local store here sells the Justin's individual packets but they vary in price from about 80 cents up to nearly $2. I agree with Laura, if you are able to plan ahead and know you will be out for a meal and will want some just buy a regular jar and put some in a small container. It's what I do when I can plan ahead. I only buy the individual packets when I need to eat and am out of the house for an extended time unplanned.

I wouldn't mind buying a few for 80 cents each. We live in a lower cost of living area so I wouldn't be surprised if I could find them at the lower price. I'll stop at Target today and check.

 

I mainly want them for those unplanned times where I end up out and about and want something to spread on my apple or rice cake.

Ah, small town challenges. I didn't find Justin's nut butters, but Target did have GoPicnic's so I picked up some, picked up some Planter's nut packets, some applesauce, etc. and made up a car snack kit. I also made some vegan gluten free jerky in the health food store and tossed it in.

 

I need to go up to Kalamazoo area for a FedEx package though, so I will probably stop in and see if their health food store has it.

 

The only nut butters in packets that our health food store had, was some really fancy expensive ones with no peanut butter option.

Skippy or Jif or both? Have the little PB cups.

Can you eat Nutella?  They have some smaller sized ones and it doesn't need to be refrigerated.  They do have some travel packs with breadsticks or something in them that I'm assuming are not gluten-free so watch for those.

I don't eat Jif or Nutella. 

 

Anyway, I went to the health food store in Kalamazoo and they ended up having a nice selection of Justin's nut butter packets. And the per packet price (for the 6 packs) was 58 cents a packet. Not bad at all! I ended up getting 3 boxes with 6 packets per box. That should last awhile. I now have a very nice survival kit for the car and I was able to have a nice little supper while the kids were eating Subway. :)

      Thanks to both of you for your responses!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      That’s really frustrating, I’m sorry you went through that. High fiber can definitely cause sudden stomach issues, especially if your body isn’t used to it yet, but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things ...

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled...

      Just diagnosed today

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation...

In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.

You’re already doing the right things with cleaning and separating baking—also watch shared toasters, cutting boards, and labels like “may contain.”

The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
