So you've seen it? The only thing is the price...its $12.99 :o

I used to eat their cashew butter which was the same price but I dont do well with any nut butters not even that one.

Yep I saw it at Whole Foods in the little raw foods section. Pretty much everything in that section is over $12 so I didn't really notice the price :lol::lol:

I might try some and eat it straight out of the jar lol. I really like coconut :)

Jersey,

Guess what....I went to the store tonight and I was just looking around and I saw a jar of coconut butter...I'd never seen this before. It's organic too! Only one ingredient organic raw coconut. OMG....it is soooo good. I probably ate too much like always but I didnt get the reaction I would normally get from other things with coconut in them. I wont give it a thumbs up though until I've eaten the whole jar and not reacted. Gimme about a week and I'll let you know. :D

Rachel--That sounds really good! I'm a little scared of any coconut because that Kinesiologist that I saw a couple of years ago said that I was "allergic" to coconut. He's turned out to be right on so many things that I'm not going to experiment with coconut anymore. It's too bad, because it sounds delicious. Maybe that's also the reason I don't do well with regular shreaded coconut. :blink:

Mango,

This is the suggestions it has on the jar

add to fruit smoothies, homemade energy bars, sauces and salad dressings. Make a fruit/coconut sorbet. Mix with cacao nibs and agave; then freeze into cubes for a cold treat.

Hmm...that sounds yummy.

If you really like coconut you're gonna love this stuff. :D

Thanks for the info Rachel. I'm definitely going to try that stuff.

So about mouth blisters...

:angry::(:wacko:

I have crazy problems at the moment. I went to the dentist (again) yesterday and they gave me anesthetic (again) and insisted they had to give me the kind with epinephran (sp? again) and I broke out in crazy amounts of mouth blisters. Is that normal? There's so many of them and they hurt...

I don't know about coconut butter but organic coconut oil is good for candida, bacteria and viruses.

Really? Hmmm I wouldn't mind trying the coconut oil too but what do you use it on?

It's a really healthy oil to cook with. You can melt it and use it instead of butter when you bake stuff too. You can pop popcorn in it. Stir frys are good with coconut oil.

I keep a jar in my bathroom too. You can also use it as a moisterizer for your skin and as a lip balm and alllll sorts of other things.

abbiekir,

I love those Alexia Fries. So sorry they made you sick :(

All of the varieties have different ingredients (i.e. dextrose, maltodextrin, autolyzed yeast extract, some even have dairy which may be an issue). I try to stick with the Yukon Gold Julienne variety because they have the least added ingredients: Yukon Gold Potatoes, Canola Oil and/or Sunflower Oil, Sea Salt.

What a find Rachel! I have tried coconut milk but every brand I've found always has something added in it like guar gum. I hope you continue to be reaction free with the coconut butter!

Hi Julie,

I am not totally convinced that it was the Alexia Fries- I had gone to Ohio to visit relatives and while there I think when I ate out at a restaurant I may have eaten something with gluten and you know how sometimes you don't get reactions for a long time...... So I am going to try to give the Yukon Gold Potatoes a try again and keep my fingers and intestines crossed :)

As with everything in life I just try to take one day at a time. One thing with celiac is everyday can be different so even though you feel crumy one day you never what tomorrow will bring.

Wow thanks everyone for the suggestions I have to go to the grocery store today and coconut oil will be on my list!

Hi Rachel,

Sooo, when you get these mouth sores does the whole inside of your mouth feel swollen ? I'm not sure if I actually have mouth sores or if I am just biting the insides of my mouth because it is swollen. Salt appears to be a problem for me too. But not on any regular basis.

No, my whole mouth doesnt feel swollen...I usually just feel a blister with my tongue or happen to see it in the mirror. There is no pain from the blisters. Sometimes the blister or the area where its located may feel a little sore from stuff rubbing against it or when the blister breaks and the skin is irritated. The blisters are very visible...usually they're dark blood filled blisters...occassionally they're white with no blood.

Rachel, I'm glad you asked this question. My Daughter who is 6 years old and was diagnosed 1 year ago with gastritis has mouth sores. I think her diagnosis isn't right. I'm taking her to a gastro specialist to have her tested for Celiac in July. I didn't realize the mouth sores could be from gluten. I don't get them but like everyone says we are all different.

Anyway Thanks

Kris

Interesting ...hubby used to get those mouth sores often before going gluten-free. Now I see the connection.

So about mouth blisters...

:angry::(:wacko:

Does anyone know if blisters like this are normal after dental work? Not to change the subject but...we rarely stick to a subject so...

I know I'm really sensitive to the anesthetic they used on me yesterday. I keep telling them and they don't believe me. I have blisters all over my mouth right now. I'm afraid if I tell them about the blisters they'll just say that happens to everyone and inject me some more <_< I do have to go back at least one more time. It's annoying because they do have an anesthetic that doesn't have the allergen in it, but it's just not as convenient for them to use, so they don't like to listen to me when I say the other stuff makes me sick. grr.

Mango...I dunno.

I had posted on another thread (I think it was yours) that the anesthetic they used on me almost 4 years ago caused me to feel really weird and I was afraid of it after that but the dentist used lots of it on me again even though I asked him not to. I was more afraid of the anesthetic than of any pain I might feel w/out it.

I didnt get any blisters back then but I know sulphites cause them now. I was reading different stories that people with sulphite sensitivivty had written. More than one of them talked about the anesthetics containg sulpher compounds. One girl had her entire illness/sensitivity triggered by the anesthitic the dentist used.

It defintately made me think because I've been saying since the beginning that my troubles started only after the dental work I'd had done. I dont really know whats what but I can almost guarantee that if I had to have the anesthetic again it would be WAY worse than what I experienced before.

Mango04 Enthusiast

Thanks Rachel. I was too lazy to search for my "I hate the dentist" thread so I posted here instead.

That's how afraid I am of the anesthetic too. I almost start crying everytime they inject me with it :ph34r: They think I'm scared of the pain from the needle even though I've explained over and over that that's not what bothers me.

That's really scary about it triggering illnesses and sensitivity. It really makes sense though. I think I'm so in tune to my own sensativities now that I'm really aware of all the horrible things the anesthetic is currently doing to my body. Like when my head pounds and I'm dizzy and shaky and disoriented and there's blisters all over my mouth I know something is not right :rolleyes:. Okay people are probably sick of hearing me rant about the dentist, so I'll stop now B) The whole thing has just been a big shock to my system. I think I'll make a big fuss and refuse to let them give that stuff to me again. Thanks for the info.

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Mango,

Defintaely....you know your body better than anyone and if its telling you somethings not right with all these blisters and symptoms....well obviously somethings not right. Dont let them tell you you're wrong....if they wont listen go to a different dentist who will listen.

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.

      Gluten withdrawal is temporary, eat well!!

      I realize I'm super late in the game regarding this topic but in case anyone is still reading/commenting on this one-does anyone who is especially sensitive have their personal observations to share regarding Primal Kitchen brand?  My daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with celiac and within 6 months, her follow up labs were normal and a year later vitamin levels significantly improving, but we are still battling GI symptoms; particularly, constipation, so much that she has been on MiraLax every day since she was 3.  We've managed to get her down to a half cap every other day but without that, she continues to have issues (when she has a known, accidental ingestion unfortunately it takes a lot more MiraLax and additional laxatives to help her).  I was searching for something else and found this and am wondering if anyone has any specific comments regarding Primal Kitchen.  I feel like we are so incredibly careful with diet, logging diet and symptoms to look for patterns (we've had multiple dieticians help with this piece as well), not eating out, contacting companies and of course, there is always room for improvement but I'm running out of ideas regarding where her issues could be coming from.  Even if the Primal Kitchen is contributing, I'm sure it's not the only thing contributing but I can't help but think there must be handful of things that are working together and against her.  The ingredients list distilled white vinegar, but also white wine vinegar and balsamic, then "spices" which I'm always cautious about.  However, after contacting the company, I felt more comfortable allowing her to consume their products but over time I've realized that the front-line customer service support people don't always provide the most accurate of information.  Thanks for reading to anyone that does.
