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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.
