Jif Individual Peanut Butter Cups

I am going on a trip next week and I bought some individual Jif Natural Peanut Butter Cups.  Has anyone had reactions to those?  I should have asked before I bought, but I was victim to impulse buying.

Funny--I got some cut up celery and they had an individual Jif Peanut Butter cup with it so I was searching to see if they were gluten-free--about 2 hours ago.  Regular Jif is gluten-free, but their website doesn't say anything about the to-go cups.  The cup I got was not labeled so I don't really know.  I got the regular creamy, not the natural though.

 

I bought some Skippy to-go ones last week and they are gluten-free.

What ingredient makes you two feel they might not be gluten-free like most all other peanut butter?  I think they are just the same pb that they put in the big jars.

I stress over cross contamination. There are no gluten ingredients that I can see but if someone has had reactions I'll give it to coworkers.

I guess I don't see where the cc for PB would come from?  Its not like you can make anything but PB on a PB machine.

^Yes.

 

The only possible cross contamination from a PB factory would be from tree nuts, if they made almond butter or cashew butter in the same facility, not from gluten.

Yes, except - Jif and Skippy are such big PB companies - I doubt they ever make anything but PB on the lines.  The cleaning and other issues with changing out the nuts would be costly.

Okay. :)

 

I do know that Jif makes a cashew butter. Probably they have a separate line for that.

Have you tried Justin's peanut butter cups? They are certified gluten free and really, really yummy!

 

I know it doesn't mean a ton, but I am super sensitive and I don't react to them :-)

Ok, I found this. I understand your concern with the travel packs.  I've found a few products that are gluten free in their normal line but some of their variations are not--like Reeses Peanut Butter cups...the regular ones are gluten-free but their holiday shaped ones, like the eggs over Easter, are not!  Being that I am still new at this, I am still in the "check everything" mode because I don't know off hand everything that is gluten-free....the "old timers" have more experience and maybe could be a bit more understanding with us newbies.... :o

I use the Jif To go cups all the time.

 

No problem whatsoever. Enjoy!

Thank you IrishHeart!  That is exactly what I needed to hear. 

 

Thank you too SMRI, I'm a newbie to Celiac and seem to get caught with cross contamination more than anything.  So everything gets checked and I was counting on people with more experience than I.

I wish I liked peanut butter. It would be so nice because it's nutritious and convenient and doesn't need refrigeration. But alas, I have never liked it, even when I was a kid. My PBJ sandwiches were alway "just jelly".

 

I DO like Reese's PB cups. Can anyone think of something besides chocolate that might taste good with PB? As I said, jelly is out. (The combination always tasted like dirty socks to me.) I know some folks like it with honey but I have a true allergy to honey.

Hubs puts pb on his waffles  :o .  I've heard a few people say they like it with bananas.   :D

 

I prefer it straight out of the jar  :lol:

I wish that Earth Balance would come up with individual peanut butter cups. I don't eat Jif and I'm not super impressed with Justin's PB packets. They're okay, but I would prefer a cup design.

I like apples and celery with peanut butter as well as bananas.

Well yay! :) When I went to the store tonight, I went and looked over in the peanut butter section to see if any options had appeared and Jif has natural peanut butter cups! I did not know that they had that option.

 

So I picked up a pack of them for the road. Open Original Shared Link

The "natural" peanut butter just replaces some fat with sugar....

Looks like they have about the same amount of grams of sugar and they just replaced the hydrogenated oil with palm oil. My favorite peanut butter for home is Krema which is made of only peanuts, but I wanted to find something for my car kit.

I tried them and I really like them! They are much cheaper than the little packets of peanut butter and much easier to work with because you can just dip your apple or celery directly in and avoid the mess of squeezing a packet. Very nice and convenient!

okay, let's get back to you,  diana w...since this is your thread.

 

Please do not stress over CC. (stress does nothing but cause inflammation and wrinkles )  ^_^

I'm  an old  timer  & I give  you  credit  for  checking  ingredients..... this  is the  way  you learn... so  kudos  to you. Many  newbies  don't  want to take the  time  pay  their  dues  &  they get  ill....it  is  a  hassle  to  be  a  label  reader  but  it  will pay off  with good  health....I'm not  sure  who  you  were  addressing  when  you  said  old timers  could be  a  bit  more  considerate  ,   we  are only  trying  to get  a point  across... sometimes   new  timers  are in  denial  & don't want  to truly listen &  soak in  the  reality of  celiac....

You  do  what  is necessary  to make  you feel  comfortable  & safe  while  learning  your  new  lifestyle....and  please  don't  stop asking  questions....

peanut  butter & pickles!!!! My BIL  favorite.....peanut  butter,  marshmallow  cream on gluten-free  graham crackers....add  a melted  hersey kiss.....

 

We  love  the  sunbutter  &  the almond  butter both  in little  packets or  jars.....both  better for  you  than  peanut  butter...

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
