Hi.

Does anyone know of a margarine type product that is soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, preservative-free, hydrogenated oils-free and sea salt-free? Maybe something made with canola oil.

I saw something called Pure sunflower sold in UK.

Thanks.

I sure do wish someone would post one but I don't think it is going to happen. I finally gave up looking after reading many, many, many labels and have started using first pressed xtra virgin olive oil. Haven't tried it yet with cinnamon sugar but great with plain pizza crusts or cebe bread.

Well, its not margarine, but ghee is clarified butter, and does not have any casein in it (Safe or those with milk allergies, etc)

I also found mine at whole foods.

My reactions to dairy and soy are too severe (feel like really bad menstrual cramps plus bloating) to risk any soy based margarines or even ghee, which is supposed to be casein free, but still comes from a dairy source. So I use coconut oil, which stays congealed like margarine at temperatures under 75 degrees fahrenheit. I use it for baking, cooking and spreading on breads, squash and other vegies. I also like tahini (sesame butter) on vegies, but especially on spaghetti squash.

Thanks so much for posting this, I was wondering about ghee. I will have to see if I can find it locally or dive into my cookbooks to see if I can make it myself.

I was going to post this same topic the other day! I have also yet to find a margarine which is free of soy, gluten and dairy. I gave up also. I just have been craving cookies lately but I found one that uses coconut oil shortening...we'll see how I like it. I will also look into coconut oil-spread type things. Thanks for the suggestions!'

I use coconut oil instead of butter in nearly everything I bake. It works well.

Coconut oil with a hint of added salt works as a butter substitute on gluten-free toast and what not. Olive oil is a good alternative also.

Fleischmann's Light in the sleeve (not the stick) is made from corn and canola oil. It is claimed to be free of milk and soy. We've been using it for many years and even bake with it. Recently the grocery stores in our area decided to stop carrying it. So, we called Fleischmann's and they told us it could be ordered through any store that already carries other items from their brand. We've got a case on order now. It's the only one on the market we've been able to find thats milk/soy free!

I use Fleischmann's also and have not had any problems with it, I am only gluten and Dairt free though, but I am able to have dairy in a few months. I find this brand to be pretty good though. Sorry I was not too much help.

Somebody said the Fleischman's Light was df, sf and gluten-free in another thread, and it isn't unless I read the wrong ingredients. I looked it up on their website and it has soy in it. Correct me if I'm wrong!

I just looked at our tub of Fleischman's Light and you are right, it now says contains soy at the bottom of the ingredients. We have been relying on that for "butter" for a year, now. Another example of needing to read labels every time!

Coconut oil is wonderful on toast. I don't add any salt to it. Daughter loves it with cinnamon and sugar on top.

If you live in an area with a lot of Jewish people, you might be able to get a brand called Mother's. I have only heard about it and not tried it. But I have also heard that it tastes terrible. They put out a regular margarine, but this is not it. It is one made only for a certain Jewish holiday. Forgive me for not knowing the details better. I am not Jewish and can't remember. Might be passover. I've seen it listed on amazon .com but now there is a caution that the formula has changed and it contains soy. I wouldn't buy it unless I could see a package in my hand and verify the ingredients.

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
