Does anyone know of a gluten free and dairy free butter or margarine? I just noticed that the margarine I'm using has whey in it and I've stopped using it.

We also use the Earth Balance. The whipped is better than the plain I think.

SmartBalance is also gluten and dairy free - says so right on the label. I can buy it at my local Albertson's Grocery Store.

You should also be able to find Fleishmann's fairly easily..... It comes in a cardboard package of 2 small tubs......

Fleischmann's Light in the tub is made from corn and is free of gluten, milk & soy

Although it says you cannot bake with it, I always use it my baking with no problems. Add 1/4 more Fleischmann's than the recipe calls for and melt it to measure. You may need to reduce other liquids by 1/4 cup.

Also, Fleischmann's Unsalted in the stick form is made from soy and free of gluten and milk ingredients.

Carrie and Bernadette-

I cked on my smart balance container last night and it has whey in it--so its not dairy free. Bernadette--do they make a special dairy free kind that you have ?

It pays to pay attention, doesn't it. The Smart Balance I bought last year was both gluten and dairy free. I have not looked at the product ingredient list, company says they "add whey" for a more healthy margarine. I'm just batting 1000 lately with my eating, glutened three times and now dairy, no wonder I feel like you know what.

Carrie, I apologize for sending you down the wrong road. I will be sure to read before I give advice. :unsure:

Jen - thanks for catching that! ;)

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten.

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
