Do any of you super sensitives react to peanut butter?  I've been eating Jif Naturals PB for last 2 weeks or so. It seems like it may be making my nerve pain worse.  My C has been better though since I've been eating it again---go figure:D  I eat paleo diet and don't eat hardly any certified Gluten-Free products because it seems like I react to even 20 or 10 ppm.  Just wondering if this happens to anyone else?  Is there any brand that is not at risk for CC?  Thanks!

Well, Jiff is supposed to be on the safe list. I get vomiting with peanuts, or even peanut oil traces. PS Peanut butter is not paleo. Try using almond butter (Barney Butter is gluten-free certified) or using SunButter and see how it changes.

Hey Ennis.  I realize that unfortunately PB is not paleo :(  And I love almond butter but is more expensive so don't buy it all the time.  Good to know that jiff is supposed to be safe, but other things have gotten me before (that's supposed to be safe) so it's hard to trust anything.

Well good luck, I started trying to make my own years ago. Started with buying a new meat grinder and modifying the plates, and then smoothing the paste with a food processor.  I then invested in large granite stone mill and mill and make artisan butter to sell to people lol. Funny I make almond butter that is sugar free but taste like cheesecake, cinnamon roll, butter rum, banana, cookies & cream, pumpkin pie, peanut butter, pralines & cream, and my own custom blend. I do these with spices and extracts....I LOVED peanut butter before those reactions so I made the almond butter thing into a hobby. I live off the stuff, if you want I can get you a discount bulk code with my almond distributor so you can order 25lb cases of almonds, to roast and make your own for $4-6 a lb.

Wow  All those types of almond butter sound amazing!  I would definitely buy some from you!  I've made homemade peanut butter one time, but haven't tried almond butter.  It'd probably be waayyy cheaper to make it yourself.  Right now, I'm actually doing the Paleo AIP diet which excludes all nuts.  I've been cheating a bit with the pbutter.  But I think I'm gonna have to give up the pbutter (and almond butter) for a few more months and give the diet a try for a while longer.  Appreciate the offer on the almonds...I may take you up on the offer down the road, if I start eating nuts again. ;)

This is perhaps not helpful to you specifically, but I eat Kraft peanut butter (not available in the US in stores, but the most ubiquitous brand in Canada). It is not labelled gluten-free as Kraft does not test incoming ingredients. Normally I don't mess around with packaged products that don't claim to be gluten-free, but this is my only exception.

I've been burned by various other brands of peanut butter, some of which did indeed claim to be gluten-free.

Here in the USA I was eating Skippy but the price got too much for my budget, so I ate Kroger store name brand or Peter Pan if on sale. Last couple months I’ve been eating Jiff cuz of the decent price and taste. Though Jiff is labeled gluten-free, with ur new post, I may have just identified why I’m getting glutened every so often, as I only eat 2 tbsp 2-3 times a week. Btw, never had any reactions whatsoever to Kroger or Peter Pan… constipation though, pntbttr is a clogger, go figure. 

Thanks for sharing ur info…

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:
