Butter in itself is not a gluten issue, unless seasoned. It may be a dairy issue.

To add to what Momma Goose said, butter itself is gluten-free.

At Outback, the butter they use on baked potatoes (and on the bread platter, FWIW) is plain butter, no problem.

On the other hand, the butter they use on the vegetables is seasoned butter, and contains gluten. Ask for your veggies without butter, but the stuff on your tater is ok.

My best guess would be that there is a possibility of CC of bread crumbs in the butter.

I think I said in a post yesterday that my sweet potato came with butter on it and had to go back. The butter they put on the sweet potato is a honey butter or some kind of seasoned butter and I have been told by 2 different Outbacks that it is not gluten-free. So, they just brought me a new sweet potato with regular butter on the side.

Sorry if I added to the confusion.

The butter @ Outback is safe but just FYI the Sour Cream is DEFINITELY not! I have a wheat allergy so as soon as I eat it I can tell before it even gets digested & I had 2 bites of the baked potato with SC & got hives! There must be quite a bit of wheat in there b/c that reaction is usually reserved for eating a bread products or deep fried somethings.

It might have been cross-contamination, but they use Daisy brand sour cream at Outback, and it is gluten-free. Also, the honey butter is gluten-free. If you want your veggies with butter, just ask that it not be the seasoned butter.

Outback recently switched to a remote printing system that allows servers and kitchen staff to communicate MUCH better and makes gluten-free meals easier to prepare. For just about every item on the menu, there is a "gluten-free" button on the computer screen.

Still, cross-contamination is a major concern at any place, Outback being no exception

The sour cream at Outback is most definitely gluten-free. Probably CC, which is possible whenever you eat out.

The honey butter is also gluten-free. There are no warnings on the menu to avoid it.

      Do Body Fat Patterns Influence Celiac Disease Risk? New Study Explores the "Immunological Shield" Theory (+Video)

      If you read the original article, the study finds that women with Celiac are "apple" shaped, while women without Celiac are "pear" shaped. So, having skinny arms and legs while carrying more weight in the abdomen, apple shaped, is found with Celiac Disease.

      trehalose intolerance

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Stegosaurus, Switching from a Keto diet to a diet high in carbohydrates increases the metabolic demand for thiamine to turn the fats, carbohydrates and proteins into energy.   Insufficient thiamine in the digestive tract can lead to SIBO and systemic yeast infection (autobrewery syndrome, Candida overgrowth).  Thiamine has both antibacterial and antifungal properties.   Trehalose is two molecules of sugar.  Thiamine is needed to metabolize carbohydrates like these.    Thiamine acts as a signal for the increased production of trehalase, the enzyme that breaks down trehalose.  I wonder what the thiamine levels of the test subjects in this study were prior to the experiment.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18777247/   Fungi (like Saccharomyces boulardii) often pair with bacteria that can make its own thiamine.  In a state of plentiful thiamine, thiamine signals for trehalase production, thus improving tolerance.     Role of fungal trehalose and bacterial thiamine in the improved survival and growth of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor S238N and the helper bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens BBc6R8 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23766226/#:~:text=We investigated the identity of,the fungal growth in vitro. The role of trehalose in the global spread of epidemic Clostridium difficile https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6546318/   I wonder if taking more Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would increase your trehalase production and improve your intolerance to trehalose.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      @glucel, Yes, most doctors prefer to prescribe pharmaceuticals than delve into vitamins because they aren't educated about the health impact vitamins and minerals can make in medical school. Thiamine, especially Benfotiamine, has been shown to be protective to the kidneys.  Benfotiamine improves kidney function!  Especially in people on dialysis.   Thiamine and Benfotiamine are safe and nontoxic even in high doses!  PLEASE Read! Prevention of Incipient Diabetic Nephropathy by High-Dose Thiamine and Benfotiamine  https://diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/article-abstract/52/8/2110/13835/ Benfotiamine Protects against Peritoneal and Kidney Damage in Peritoneal Dialysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3083313/ Prevention of incipient diabetic nephropathy by high-dose thiamine and benfotiamine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12882930/ If more than half your plate is carbohydrates, you need more Thiamine!  High carbohydrate diets induce thiamine because as the carbohydrate load us increased, an increased amount of thiamine is needed to process them.  I have been taking high dose thiamine as thiamine hcl and Benfotiamine for over ten years.  I have not had any bad experiences with it.   I no longer have any symptoms that reflect type two diabetes.   Doctors can't profit from prescribing vitamins because they can't be patented.  They profit from pharmaceuticals and medical procedures necessitated by health conditions that could be remedied, or at least improved, with essential vitamins and minerals!   Don't fear thiamine!  Do discuss the benefits with your doctor.  Ask if you can take 300 mg Benfotiamine in his office under medical supervision if you're nervous.  Most people have improved health within a short period of time.  You've already seen improvement with low dose thiamine hcl.  Jump in with both feet!

      I found credible scientific evidence from The World Heath Organization, pertaining to nutrients in drinking-water. There are several sections within the paper regarding nutrient depleted water (aka RO water)  Below is a small sample from the PDF which is linked further below. The possible adverse consequences of low mineral content water consumption are discussed in the following categories: • Direct effects on the intestinal mucous membrane, metabolism and mineral homeostasis or other body functions. • Little or no intake of calcium and magnesium from low-mineral water. • Low intake of other essential elements and microelements. • Loss of calcium, magnesium and other essential elements in prepared food. • Possible increased dietary intake of toxic metals. I highly recommend downloading the PDF and reviewing it for yourself. https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9241593989

      Great info, thanks. Luckily I am taking thiamin hcl 100mg at lunch and the 25 mg in morning b complex is made up of hcl and cocarboxlase.  I have read many of your writings about thiamin and understand/believe that the body gets rid of the excess. One thing that a gluten-free diet has done for me is no microscopic blood in urine after a lifetime of it, at least so far, but in other aspects my kidneys not so good. My kidneys have never been completely healthy and as an old guy have only gotten worse. My brother is on dialysis so I am more than concerned about excessive thiamin affect on the kidneys. It would be great to check with a dr about this but most of the time they have no interest in anything but drugs. So yes I would love to load up on b1 but it was actually a big decision for me to add 100 mg at noon time a few months ago. Normally my so called bigger meal, or at least where meat is consumed is at mid day. I eat way too much bread and cereals at night and usually stay away from meat as I try to limit cholesterol, although I do sneak a hard boiled egg in there. Maybe a half a hamburger or something like that could help curb the appetite.
