Anyone know a butter that is free from cross-contamination? Right now I use Kerrygold butter because it's grass fed (and delicious) but has anyone had a reaction to butter and if so can you recommend a 100% gluten free kind. ideally one that is labeled gluten free.

I use any kind of butter.  I don't know where cc would come from?  You don't make butter in the same place you make other foods.

I don't make butter at all Karen. But who knows if dairy companies make food with flour right next to butter. Not to mention it's been proven that grain fed cows can produce milk containing gluten.

I didn't mean you personally...  Of course they don't make bread, or whatever in a dairy "factory".

 

I have seen no real scientific evidence that there is gluten in grain fed milk.  If that were the case, I would think that the big Celiac organizations would warn us from eating milk, cheese, cream, etc.

I've never had a problem with any kind of butter or margarine.  As far as milk containing gluten, I drink it daily and my celiac panel has been perfect the last few yearly checkups.

I am the butter Queen!  I can eat butter by the spoonful for a snack!  Ask my family!   I have used Kerry gold and had no issues.  You might be reacting to casein (the milk protein) or you might be temporarily or permanently lactose intolerant.

There is no reason to be concerned about any butter. Take a look at numerous baked goods that are certified gluten-free and you will see plenty of butter listed as an ingredient. Butter is naturally gluten-free. Butter can become contaminated if you are sharing it with someone who eats gluten. All butter for a celiac needs to be completely separate if in a home with gluten present.

Yuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm BUTTER!!!!! I've never had a problem with any brand of butter. Butter is not made in a factory that makes anything with gluten.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
