peanut and nut butters? suggestions?

What kind of peanut butter or nut butters do you all use? Do I really need to spend $10+ on a jar that specifically says "gluten free" or can I trust that say, trader joes peanut butter-which lists only dry roasted peanuts and salt as the ingredients, is safe? This is all so new to me, and I'm going to meet with a nutritionist in a few weeks to have some questions answered, but in the meantime I thought I'd ask here what you all do... Thanks!

I like Skippy.  It doesn't really matter.

I use the natural ones because I don't like any more preservatives than necessary. I haven't had any issues with the Skippy natural or the Peter Pan natural. It is peanuts, sugar, palm oil, and salt so no gluten containing items.

Like kareng said, it really doesn't matter, but I still look at the ingredients on the label by habit now.  It may not have specifically the glutened grain products, but another sneaky ingredient I have found is maltodextrin, unless it specifically states it is made from corn.

actually the last few years, many companies have come out with reasonable priced peanut butters. I suppose if want $10 peanut/alternate butters you can certainly find 10 dollar stuff, but I pay just $2.38 for jiffy honey roast and it is gluten free. But not all people can or like peanuts, so just shop around at dare I say it, yup,  Walmart to find a reasonably priced version of your desire!

Regular Skippy has peanuts, oil and salt.  No preservatives

Maltodextrin shouldn't be a gluten concern in the US.

Thanks everyone! Sounds like most butters are safe!

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JamieAnn!  Glad you had a good experience at your local Jersey Mike's.  In the town I live in all we have is Subway and they stopped offering gluten free buns. So, I can't eat there anymore. Oh, more recently there has come to our town a Firehouse sub shop and, according to the Internet, they offer gluten free buns but I haven't tried them yet. For super sensitive celiacs, cross-contamination in handling at these sub shops may also be a problem.

      Today, in Uniontown, PA,  I ordered Jersey Mike’s Italian sub on gluten-free bread (paid extra for gluten-free) for my brother who hasn’t had a sub in yrs (neorological prob if consumes). He’s so happy! Their gluten-free bread is from a company that specializes in gluten-free products, some of which I’ve enjoyed before, so figured a sub would be good!

      Most recent gluten challenge guidelines call for the consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least 2 weeks.  When celiacs have been on gluten free diets for long periods of time, they often find that when they consume a good amount of gluten, they react much more strongly than they did before going gluten free. They have lost all tolerance to the poison they had when consuming wheat products regularly. That is certainly the case with me. A couple of years ago I accidentally consumed a wheat biscuit my wife had made thinking it was a gluten free one and it made me violently ill. So, I mention that as I don't know if your son has started the gluten challenge yet.

      Will definitely keep you posted. We live in Japan and will fly to Australia for the endoscopy end of April so until then, for the next ten weeks, we will just start adding gluten daily. 2 slices of white bread a day is what the guidelines seem to say.    But I welcome advice from members here who have done successful gluten challenges. I know they are not always successful.    I have also read I should monitor his growth. Is that really a concern for 10 weeks of gluten consumption? He is growing and has always followed his curve but he’s no basketball player at 20-25th centile.
