I use Jif all the time, but when finished with that, I want to switch to Smart Balance for for the reduced fat.

I have allergies to soy and cane sugar (which are often added to peanut butter). So I use Whole Foods 365 peanut butter which contains peanuts and salt. That brand is fairly inexpensive at $1.69 a pound. I also buy 'grind your own' peanut butter from a local coop or Fred Meyer.

I use Jif all the time and have had no problem with it. My mom wants me to use some natural peanut butter without hydrogenated oil but um I haven't brought my tastebuds up to that level yet lol...anyhow, there are a number of peanut butters that are fine...if you feel bad after it try another brand known to be gluten free and if you still feel bad you may want to look and see if you may have another sensitivity

Me and son are soy intolerant, soy makes us feel real sick, so we use the Skippy Natural which has palm oil instead of soybean oil. The Skippy Natural is delicious, tastes just like 'regular' peanut butters.

Maybe you are soy intolerant?

Or if not, you could use any kind of All Natural peanut butter that has nothing else added, and dump out the oil that rises to the top. These kinds of peanut butter are stiff though and hard to spread.

Best wishes to all.

Does anyone else use the peanut butter. If so, "Double Dipping" could be the problem. I have always used a different brand of peanut butter than the rest of my household to prevent this.

jif seems to be fine for me, but i wont use it if it looks like someone else in my family may have used it.

i also LOVE "better than peanut butter" from Trader Joes!

it has only 100 calories for 2 tablespoons and way less fat and it has all the taste that i need!

try it!

I use Jif or Wegmans whichever I pick up, don't have issues with either.

I also enjoy the "natural" peanut butter (the oil rises to the top). I found it at my local grocery store (Kroger) in their health food section. It is expensive, but VERY good. They also make other nut-butters "natural." I haven't tried them, but for people allergic to peanuts, it's an option. I don't eat a lot of pb so, when I buy a jar, it lasts awhile. Now you have me craving pb! :)

Oh, and I also eat Jif on occasion without a problem. Is it possible you had a cross contamination issue at your house (family, friends, etc.)?

Take care. -Julie

I use Smucker's Natural, which has only peanuts and salt in it. Also LOVE the Peanut Butter and Company's Cinnamon Raisin Swirl All Natural P.B. which has peanuts, evaporated cane juice, raisins, cinnamon, organic palm oil and salt. It is available at Kroger and many other regular and specialty stores in my area. If I feel that the natural P.B. is a little bland tasting, I add a little honey and sometimes ground sesame.

I use the smart balance one since I'm trying to increase the fat in my diet and it has added omega 3's in it. Tastes fine and no problems not to mention I'm extra sensitive these days since i've only been gluten-free for 6 weeks today from my diagnosis.

Good luck :), I may try the all natural peanut butter as well next time.

I do not Allow cross contamination in Any of my foods so I know thats not it. What else do you eat for protien?

I notice in your signature that you're intolerant to most peanut butters.

I'm wondering if you might possibly be intolerant to legumes? I became intolerant to them after I was gluten-free for several months. Legumes were the last things I discovered I was sensitive to, and when I omitted them, there was a huge difference in the way I felt.

I eat almond butter--at first, I really missed peanut butter, but now I crave almond butter and don't miss the peanut at all.

Legumes are soy, all beans (string, navy, pinto, black, chick peas, lentils, peas, peanuts, etc.) Cashews, I believe, are related--I react to them, but not as bad.

There was a sports doctor who used to post here--he told me that people with autoimmune diseases often have problems with legumes. I asked him about it shortly after I discovered I was intolerant. Prior to this, I was eating some form of legume every day.

Isis,

Here's a site you might be interested in--it's all about lectins. Legumes, grains (especially wheat), dairy and nightshade veggies are all lectins.

I am also an almond butter convert. Peanuts and I for some reason don't agree, they equal lots of gas for me.

Almond butter and honey is one of my favorites. Great for dipping apples, bananas, celery or on gluten-free toast.

If you have not tried sunflower seed butter, give it a whirl. It is really fantastic, IMO. I like it even better than peanut butter now. :)

For protein, I have to rely on meat, basically. I am intolerant to all sources of plant protein, unfortunately. I can eat beef and pork, but have trouble with chicken unless it's a kosher brand called Empire.

Some people can do goat's milk--but it still contains casein, so you'd have to try it to see if you can tolerate it. I use Pacific Almond Milk. They also make a rice milk.

I don't react well to vitamins--I only take calcium (Citrical) at this point.

I used to bruise terribly--my arms looked like I was battered. Just resting my arm on the kitchen table would result in a bruise. I was found to be anemic--as soon as that began to resolve on the gluten-free diet, the bruising stopped. It took probably 4 months, though.

If you can tolerate meat, that would be a good thing to try and get some of each day. It will provide protein and iron. Almonds also have protein--a serving of almond butter has about 5 grams.

I had to do an elimination diet (suggested by my allergist) to finally determine what I was sensitive to. This took several months, but it was worth it. Just recently, I began to suspect potatoes--I challenged them after being off them for a week--and had a reaction (D and cramping).

Let me know if there's anything else I can do :)

Isis,

Also, another cause of bruising is not enough vitamin K. Good sources are green leafy veggies and broccoli, kale, spinach, and parsley. :)

I too also use almond butter instead of peanut butter. PB hurts my stomach. All peanuts actually.

You're welcome :)

Kale is good sauteed in a little olive oil and garlic (if you can eat garlic--if not, no problem). You will want to cook it until it's tender enough for you. None of the dark leafy greens cause gas for me--not even broccoli.

      no argument. Never take the pills sold for Nuclear events, except in a nuclear event when instructed to by authorities. Some of these go up to 130 milligrams per pill. 5000 times the strength of the dietary supplement. 130 times the safe upper limit. 130 mg = 130,000 mcg.

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
