I searched for information on here re gluten free peanut butter and saw a lot of posts that mostly say peanut butter is gluten free....but not one that mentions cross contamination because peanuts are often processed in facilities that also process gluten/wheat....can anyone address this. I find most nuts are contaminated...are peanuts not? I'm starting wonder if I can't tolerate the nuts themselves. I would love to hear from folks who have had peanut butter without any issues...thanks

We love Skippy Natural PB. My son and I are getting more sensitive by the day, and have no issues with Skippy. We have both reacted to both Stater Bros and Ralphs store brands,

I have not had any problems with this one peanut butter.. MaraNatha Organic Crunchy & Roasted Peanut Butter it is 16 oz and this one is with salt.. if you have a problem with soy it says it may contain traces of soy and tree nuts..

I hope this helps..

I had issues with many peanut butters but it turned out to be the soy oil and/or high fructose corn syrup that was the issue. I go for a peanut butter now that is just peanuts and salt. I use Wegmans brand but other organic brands that are just peanuts have been fine.

Thank you all again. I do react to soy so the MaraNatha Organic won't work for me, but thanks for your input Backboneexecutives...:)

Lovegrov....I bought some nuts from nuts online dot com, they were raw and out of the shell....spent 120.00 bought a bunch....started eating them every day...and began to notice subtle symptoms....that continued each day....I felt like I was being glutened, but knew I wasn't eating anything with gluten...symptoms of malabsorption were back, full blown...I couldn't figure out why....so I began to review everything I ate, and the one thing I was eating everyday was those nuts, a variety of them....so I sent an email to nuts online dot com and asked them if they process their nuts on the same lines as gluten and they wrote back....YES....after that I wrote to several online distributors and they all told me the same thing!

I love peanut butter and thought there must be someplace to get it gluten free, without cross contamination...because one speck of gluten makes me sick, obviously....I couldn't see gluten on those nuts....anyway when I came here to find out about a brand, not one person mentioned cross contamination and that surprised me...:)

I would go for the peanuts and salt only versions also Ravenwoodglass...Sarah? :) It's been a while...I don't do anything with high fructose corn syrup, and I am sensitive to soy...I'll look for the Wegmans or Skippy Natural brands....thank you all again...just having a few good things makes you feel so much better, my latest treat is frozen bananas....yummmm...thanks again everyone, much appreciated! Happy New Year

I eat skippy natural with no problems.

If they are produced on the same lines as wheat, it should be on the label-not so for barley and rye.

It also could be the nuts themselves. I have GI problems after eating almonds, all other nuts are fine.

Yes it took me a while but I realized that that's why some labels say 'no wheat' and others say, 'no wheat, gluten' very important to say both, since barley and rye contain gluten too. And yes, it could be the nuts, but the nuts from the place I mentioned were contaminated. I had all the same symptoms as when I ate gluten...and of course the company confirmed that for me. Yes, it should have been on the label....but it wasn't. Thanks Jennifer....:)

Unfortunately there is no regulation that says that they have to disclose even wheat if there is a chance for CC. Like with a shared line or facility. That labeling is totally voluntary as of this time. Hopefully that will change. Some companies have good policies about labeling CC risk but many don't.

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies. She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses. She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid. The test was a failure. The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies...

      Positive biopsy

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen! Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run...

      Positive biopsy

      Upper endoscopy last week resulted in positive biopsy for celiac disease. The IgA they ran was normal (114). Does positive biopsy automatically mean definitive diagnosis?

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.
