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...

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
