Jif Peanut Butter

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…

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Hi Cristiana   Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa.  The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Cristiana asks a very relevant question. What looks normal to the naked eye may not look normal under the microscope.
    • cristiana
      Hello @CC90 Can I just ask a question: have you actually been told that your biopsy were normal, or just that your stomach, duodenum and small intestine looked normal? The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.
