Nuts!

I have been gluten-free for over a year and a 1/2 and I have been doing an elimination diet for nuts. Well, it seems along with peanuts that I also have almonds as a foe.

My question is what do you substitute for nuts? I am a nut fanatic, espcially since I don't do sugar so, I eat peanut butter-crunchy.

How truly decent are the other nut butters? I don't want to spend the money if they are awful. I figured maybe one of them, non-crunchy, may be okay.

I've never tried anything other than peanut butter, but I love cream cheese and jelly. Hummus on pita bread is good too.

Sarah,

Have no fear the other nut butters taste terrific. I just wish I could afford to buy them more often. My favorite is macadamia nut butter. It is easy to make your own also. Just grind your favorite nut, sunflower seed, or pumpkin seed. You can buy sunflower seed butter that is very close to peanut butter. I like and enjoy them all. Just enter the name Futter's and you will find a nice selection. You can also get coconut.

I love creamy "Sunbutter" which is made from sunflower seeds. It is expensive (close to $6.00 per jar) but nutritious. Keep in mind that Sunbutter is manufactured in a facilty that uses soy to maufacture other products.

Thanks for all of your quick posts-as you could sense I am desperate! I have eliminated so much that I feel like there is not much left! I know that is not true but, for a peanut freak it sure feels like it!

I looked up Sunbutter sample and they are currently giving away 1.5 pkgs. If you need to sample it here is your chance b-4 you buy.

Just send them an e-mail with your address to: sunbutter@redriv.com

I am allergic to all nuts as well as peanuts and sesame so eat sunflower seeds a lot and recently started using sunflower seed butter. They have various kinds. You can order one from Whole Foods that doesn't have any sugar. Most do seem to have sugar in them. The Trader Joe's variet seems to have the most sugar. Most seem to be cross contaminated with other nut butters...So far that hasn't been a problem for me but I could see that for someone it might. The tastiest one I have used so far is sunflower seed butter from Once Again Nut Butter. They have a site online.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
