I didn't know there were peanut butters that weren't gluten free :unsure: Does any one know which ones aren't safe?

Okay this is what I have come up with ... i erased what i had thought... i like to check out stuff before i post stuff...

I think I was wrong.

Hydrogenated and hydrolized are two differnt things .. and some of the peanut butters were hydrogenated and some were hydrolized. i confused them ... the hydrogenated was rapeseed and cottonseed..

so i was confused and just found one that was neither.

But due to people wanting Organic and natural.. I think that more and more food companys are going to go green and get rid of the trans fats and the wheat that my be used as fillers. just a thought.

I've yet to see a regular peanut butter that is not gluten free. This is something we are *generally* safe with.

I use Peter Pan PB....used it as a kid, and was so happy to find out as a Celiac that it was safe. We have to count our blessings for naturally gluten free foods! :)

ditto that thought - I've not yet seen any peanut butter (or other nut butter) with wheat in it. not saying there isn't one in all the world, just that it's not a high probability. (still, ALWAYS read the ingredients.)

Be careful of Low fat or Fat Free ones....they contain HVP's which are no nos (Hydrolized Vegetable Protiens).

My understanding is the trans fats law is that it can still contain it, but it must be labelled clearly. I believe a lot of companies are changing formulas to not use hydrogenated or hydrolized protiens, but not all of them!

I like Skippy Creamy. My favorite is Smuckers Natural Extra Chunky though! LOL!!!

Dear Everyone,

All Jif peanut butters are safe! They are actually made by Smucker's! I called about them a while back. This includes their Smooth Sensations! I am sad to report they no longer make the chocolate peanut butter, though! It was soooooo good! I grew up eating Jif, and was ecstatic to learn that it is safe! The low-fat version is great when you crave something sweet. It does contail corn protein and soy though.

Sincerely,

Do you like/have you tried Nutella? I think it would be similar to chocolate peanut butter. I put it on Redenbacher popcorn cakes and have to discipline myself not to eat too many of them.

Doesn't anyone eat natural peanut butter? It's just peanuts and salt! No sugars, no fillers, no hydrogenation, no gluten, nothing else at all.

It's what I've always eaten since I was little. Nothing better IMHO. Smuckers makes one, as well as Arrowhead Mills and other companies, so it shouldn't be hard to find. Even supermarket chains like that big one with the name that starts with a W has one, though I don't like it because it's not made right. Seems like they add extra oil to get aways with less peanuts. It's easy to tell when the peanut butter is on the thin side.

Haven't you ever simply added cocoa or carob powder to natural peanut butter? To me this tastes quite yummy. A dash of cinnamon adds a nice flavor too. Apple sauce is also a great addition (I recommend the natural unsweetened kind).

Dear BF,

I am not sure where to find Nutella. I heard it is delicious. I miss the Chocolate Silk so much!

I used to eat it with animal crackers! Of course, now I cannot eat those. No more pretzals either. I cannot afford the gluten free ones! Maybe someday! At least the Glutino pretzals are supposed to be good!

Dear RiceGuy,

I have had Smucker's and Arrowhead Mills natural peanut butters. They are good. The problem is, I always have them dry out in the fridge! What can I do to fix that? Any suggestions? All natural nut butters do this! Also, any stirring tips to get it nice and creamy instead of the oil on the top?

Dry out? Perhaps you mean as you get closer to the bottom, there's less and less oil in it, yes? That would also be consistent with having oil on top so much. Basically, you aren't stirring it properly/enough. There's no big secret or trick involved. Just a bit of diligence is all it takes.

When I get a new jar, the first thing I do is CAREFULLY begin stirring a bit of the top. I do not try digging down much at first, as that can easily lead to spilling it. As the oil mixes in, I slowly go further until it has been completely mixed right down to the bottom. An alternative method is to simply put the jar upside down for a few days when you first get it, before putting it in the fridge or stirring. That will put the oil on the bottom of the jar, thus making it easier to stir up. I generally don't do this however, since it gets peanut butter all over the inside of the cover. Letting the jar stand upright awhile doesn't clear it out completely, so it tends to make a bit of a mess.

Stir it before each use. I tend to eat it daily until it's gone, so the oil really doesn't separate much at all. Still, I always stir it some. A knife can go down to the bottom without displacing much, so you can bring up some of the lower contents each time. That will make the consistency quite uniform right down to the last use.

If you do get lax about it and allow it to get dry, just add a bit of any light vegetable oil. I've actually spooned off the oil from a new jar, and added coconut oil in its place, which makes for an extra tasty treat. Plus a nice side-benefit of this is that since coconut oil is solid below 76 degrees, it won't separate :)

Hey I was referring to the Hvp that I found in most peanut butters. BUt what I was trying to say was that the SKIPPY only has peanuts sugar and palm oil. Its the new natural one. that is all.

Peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips have been a mainstay for this newly diagnosed celiac (10/12). I've been purchasing organic grind-in-the-store peanut butter. Now I find out that many or maybe all whole peanut manufacturers

process in facilities where wheat may have been processed. No wonder my symptoms come and go.  I can't afford $8/lb. for in the jar organic gluten-free P-butter. I love grinding my own if only the peanuts were not cross-contaminated. I did find one source for bulk whole gluten-free peanuts Open Original Shared Link but are out until end of 9/13. Does anyone else have a source for gluten-free peanuts that are GMO free? I'm one who just can't support with my $$ companies like Kraft (Skippy) or Smuckers (Adam) who have sold out to Monsanto and the GMO industry.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
