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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
