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…

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      Thank you so much.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!
