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! ;)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
