Gfdf Margarine

Can someone give me a brand of margarine that is gfdf. I have used Smart Balance Light, however sometimes I wonder if it doesn't bother my stomach a little......or perhaps it is my imagination. I was looking to try a different kind

Thanks.

We ran into this dilema, too! I found a spread that works for my daughter and our nutritionaist agreed that it worked well. It is tricky - it is the Smart Balance regular with flax oil - it only comes in small tubs. It is different than those in the larger tubs. We use this one because my daughter also can't have too much soy (only oil).

When we had my son on a Gluten-free Casein-free diet, we used the following margarines:

Earth Balance - by far our favorite. Works great for baking and is great as a spread too.

Soy Garden

Smart Balance with Flax

Smart Balance Organic Buttery Spread

Nucoa - great for baking and spreading, but it does have trans-fats, so we didn't use it often. This one was the cheapest and easiest for me to find.

Fleischmann's Unsalted - for some reason, the unsalted one is the only one that is DF in the Fleischmann's line.

Hope this helps.

I also use this one, I really like it :)

      Lactose intolerance is not necessarily to problem in the celiac community. Intolerance to the dairy protein casein can be the culprit as it is similar enough to gluten to cause cross reactivity in a fairly significant element of the celiac population. Oats and dairy are common cross reactors in the celiac community. Eggs, corn and soy are also common cross reactors but oats and dairy are the two big ones.

      Thought I'd leave you the references: Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ "The early symptoms of TD are non-specific and may be easily attributed to any number of disease processes. Unrelenting or uncharacteristic fatigue, changes in mood with a tendency towards hyper-irritability and mood lability are common [4]. A sense of mental fuzziness and subtle decrements in memory are often reported, along with loss of appetite, sleep disturbances and/or gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort and dysmotility. Food intolerances and vomiting may develop as the deficiency progresses. Experimental [5] and case literature [6] suggest GI discomfort and dysmotility may be more prevalent early indications of TD than currently appreciated. A form of GI beriberi has been identified but is under-recognized [7]." and... Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

      Thank you for these thoughts, Knitty. Trents: Yes. I would say we are taking it relatively light on his belly because it's been upset, so no heavy/excessive dairy, but he has had some cheese here and there. Not high quantities, however, and tests were negative for lactose intolerance.

      Being low in Thiamine B1 can cause fingers and toes to be cold all the time.  Thiamine deficiency affects body temperature regulation and sleep/wake cycles.   Thiamine deficiency-induced disruptions in the diurnal rhythm and regulation of body temperature in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9804367/
