Most of it? I've never seen any carbs in margarine, and since lactose is a sugar... :)

I do know that Smart Balance Light is Gluten-free Casein-free (casein free - no dairy whatsoever). Regular butter is actually likely to be just fine if she's only avoiding lactose, as the fat is easy to separate from the sugars; it's separating *all* the protein that's hard.

Welcome to the board!

I really like the margarine from Open Original Shared Link. It's actually better than I thought it would be. The part I like is that it comes in a stick, not that fake, watered-down butter-wanna-be junk in a tub. It's also non-hydrogenated, has no trans-fat, and a bunch of other good things. It even works for baking and frying. They do have stuff in tubs though for those who prefer it.

Hmmm...can you explain further? Because last I knew carbohydrates and sugars are two separate things, and would get listed separately.

The typical margarines usually have whey. I just did a quick Google, and the first site I found says whey is largely lactose.

<EDIT>

From the US Dairy Export Council:

Typical Composition of Whey

Protein 11.0%–14.5%

Lactose 63.0%–75.0%

Fat 1.0%–1.5%

Ash 8.2%–8.8%

Moisture 3.5%–5.0%

two that i know of are Fleischman's No Salt Margarine (only no salt) and Willow Run Soybean Margarine. I recommend the latter, but I'm not sure how easy it is to find. The Fleischman's is a little bland.

      Son's legs shaking

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
