Can anybody recommend to me the best place to buy these? Do you buy online or in a grocery store? Thanks in advance.

Mine has them with the PB .

Not as many flavors as Whole Foods or Natural Grocers.

I'm not really concerned about variety. The main thing is I want to find ones that aren't too expensive.

Individual servings of anything are going to be expensive.  They sell tiny plastic containers with snap on lids, I am sure some of those would be suitable for nut butters.

Every local store here sells the Justin's individual packets but they vary in price from about 80 cents up to nearly $2. I agree with Laura, if you are able to plan ahead and know you will be out for a meal and will want some just buy a regular jar and put some in a small container. It's what I do when I can plan ahead. I only buy the individual packets when I need to eat and am out of the house for an extended time unplanned.

I wouldn't mind buying a few for 80 cents each. We live in a lower cost of living area so I wouldn't be surprised if I could find them at the lower price. I'll stop at Target today and check.

 

I mainly want them for those unplanned times where I end up out and about and want something to spread on my apple or rice cake.

Ah, small town challenges. I didn't find Justin's nut butters, but Target did have GoPicnic's so I picked up some, picked up some Planter's nut packets, some applesauce, etc. and made up a car snack kit. I also made some vegan gluten free jerky in the health food store and tossed it in.

 

I need to go up to Kalamazoo area for a FedEx package though, so I will probably stop in and see if their health food store has it.

 

The only nut butters in packets that our health food store had, was some really fancy expensive ones with no peanut butter option.

Skippy or Jif or both? Have the little PB cups.

Can you eat Nutella?  They have some smaller sized ones and it doesn't need to be refrigerated.  They do have some travel packs with breadsticks or something in them that I'm assuming are not gluten-free so watch for those.

I don't eat Jif or Nutella. 

 

Anyway, I went to the health food store in Kalamazoo and they ended up having a nice selection of Justin's nut butter packets. And the per packet price (for the 6 packs) was 58 cents a packet. Not bad at all! I ended up getting 3 boxes with 6 packets per box. That should last awhile. I now have a very nice survival kit for the car and I was able to have a nice little supper while the kids were eating Subway. :)

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.
