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.

Susan :rolleyes:

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.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time.

      What is the best gluten free scanner app? I have the "gluten-free Scanner" app. I scanned an almond joy and it says it contains gluten when the package is labeled gluten free

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.
