Margarine

Now that I'm happily consuming dairy again, does anyone have any favourite gluten-free margarines? I'm eating butter right now, but I like to switch it up sometimes.

Why not just switch between butter and coconut oil? Both are natural products ... margarine is not good for you.

I would suggest Smart Balance. It dosen't have any trans-fats (most margarines do). It also tastes good :P

I use Promise spread. I like it, yeah, margerine in general is not that great for you. But I abhore the taste of butter. The amount I consume is not going to do harm. Besides, most gluten free people end up eating very healthy anyhow, as we don't get to consume the "mass produced" fast food and other things as much.

I also use smart balance and i like it also. I think its a great choice. No trans fat and non hydrogenated.

I will second coconut oil. Here is a link. Very amazing facts on coconut oil. My mashed potatoes taste so tropical! :lol:

I like Smart Balance too and it says gluten-free on the label.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      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.

      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.

      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.
