Surrender Dorothy!

Well, I have decided to quit playing games with myself and surrender to this gluten thing.

And it's amazing how I notice so quickly now what's going on with my body and mind.

so, here's some good advise:

do not eat Peter Pan Honey Roast peanut butter.

No matter HOW much you love it.

Why not?? Peanut butter is gluten free. And Peter Pan says all their varieties are gluten free on their website.

Connie, I know your really not going to want to hear this but.....Does the label list soy oil by any chance? It is not uncommon for us to have problems with soy.

If it's this one: Open Original Shared Link

It lists hydrogenated vegetable oil (cottonseed and rapeseed). Sugar is also the second ingredient. there's nothing gluten, dairy or soy based in this, but I would not eat it just because of the oil they used to make it (hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils are bad for you, plus cottonseed oil is usually a genetically modified food). Perhaps you are sensitive to one of those ingredients.

I like the Smart Balance Natural peanut butters (or any natural peanut butter, really). The ingredients are: Peanuts, evaporated cane juice, natural oil blend (palm fruit and flaxseed oils), salt and molasses. If it's not sweet enough, you can add a little REAL honey to it.

Upon further thought, could your PB have been tainted by someone else dipping a knife with crumbs in it? Make sure you have your own jar of peanut butter. All it takes is someone else spreading it on their toast and you have crumbs in the jar. THEN your PB is glutened unsafe no matter what kind it is.

Maybe it's the sugar. Something in it doesn't agree with me.

But.....

But that PB makes me dizzy is all I know. It's my own private jar at work. I stick celery sticks in it all the time, but that's it. My mom gets that peanut butter that they grind right in front of you and she gets it UNSALTED! :o

SICKENING! She has always been VERY concerned about health and food. I didn't ever get a hot dog until I was 12. We had raw veggies for snacks and apples. EVen our Christmas stockings had fruit and nuts only.

P.S. my mom is 82 and is often thought to be in her mid to late 60's. So I don't make fun of her no more :ph34r:

If you react to it, don't eat it. Some of us react to foods that other's of us don't. We have varying sensitivities to trace gluten. Some don't appear to react to anything at all. I can't eat peanut butter, but I can eat peanuts that I shell myself.

I finally figured out after about 50 years of eating peanut butter that I must have a slight allergy to it. It became more intense in the last 4 or 5 years since I was diagnosed with Colitis. Whenever I eat peanut butter, my lips get tingly and feel like I have put peppermint lipbalm on. I happened to mention it to my GI and she told me it is an allergic reaction. I just never connected the dots. *sigh* and they say you get smarter the older you are.

Now I buy the Justins Almond Butter - expensive (9.99) but no tingly lips! Although I must admit I miss the feeling of peanut butter on my tongue eaten right from a spoon. The almond butter isn't as smooth and creamy.

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being...

      Thankyou I will be seeing my new primary this coming Monday and will ask.I did ask about some other blood test to look for that I saw on this website.I pushed the second ANA panel two months ago thinking it would show but found out it doesn't.I don't have lupus which seems what the ANA panel seems to only look for.I have come to the conclusion that doctors are like hair people meaning all hair places know how to cut hair and style but not all know how to grow hair.I was given tramadel for nearly 20 years to push through. I literally can't no more and stopped taking tramadel since I was swelling slowly in the belly.I will diffently show new primary this website and hopefully...

      It’s completely understandable to feel blindsided by a celiac disease diagnosis, especially when you’ve never experienced any noticeable symptoms. Many people assume that celiac disease always comes with obvious digestive distress, but in reality, some people—like you—are asymptomatic, or what’s sometimes called “silent celiac.” Even without symptoms, the disease can still cause internal damage to your small intestine and increase your risk for serious complications like osteoporosis, infertility, certain cancers, and neurological issues, including ataxia. That’s why treatment—a strict lifelong gluten-free diet—is recommended for all individuals diagnosed with celiac disease...

      Welcome to the forum, @Jmartes71, Wow!  31 years!  That's great! You can get a DNA test to show genes specifically for Celiac.  Your genes don't change whether you eat gluten or not.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients.  You may have become a bit deficient after such a long time.  Deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals can lead to many health problems. Start keeping a food journal.  Other food sensitivities could have developed.  Journaling can help connect symptoms with specific foods.  Vitamin D can help calm the immune system so you don't react to everything. When I was deficient, I had...
