No, I always use the wicked fatty kind. Did you check their website? I remember somebody posted some gluten-free recipes that were on the site so I'd think they'd be aware...

I use the wicked fatty kind too, but I'm on weight watchers and I hate margerine...ergo...

Anyway, I looked in my clan thompson smartlist (I knew there was a reason I paid for it :rolleyes: ) and it says their light butter isn't gluten-free :(

Dammit <_<

Oh, man, that's terrible. I'd never have thought to question butter... one more thing I'll always have to ask about now. I bet my MIL uses it since she's on a heart diet...

I'm not sure I believe you, clan thompson!!! How could there be gluten in butter?!?!

Oh well, I'll get whipped butter (it's gluten-free), at least that cuts down the pointage a little bit <_<

You know, I checked their website just out of curiosity, & I bet it is actually safe-- the nutrient info they showed had the allergen statement (contains: Milk) & it didn't mention wheat. Isn't that the usual culprit in starch? & I've heard that some of the gluten-free lists automatically eliminate foods that don't specify the starch. But maybe if you call the company on Monday they'll give you the go-ahead, for future buttering anyway...

You know what...good call! They also said in their confusing gluten statement that the label would have the most up to date information...hmm...

Also, the Clan Thompson info for them was from last November

I'll have to look more closely at the label when I'm at wally world tomorrow... :wacko:

Land-of lakes pure butter and unsalted IS GLUTEN FREE.

Read the ingredients in margarine, then read

the same for margarine.........You choose.

If you have an issue with milk problems , butter is out of the question.

(All, if not most of the questions regarding products have been asked before. I would suggest that those that post, do a search on this site first, read the posts and if there is any further questions, please ask away, we are always here._

There is a vast amount of information available here...and it is soooooooo easy to find. :)

Thanks, Momma Goose, but I did a search and it only turned up the stuff about their gluten-free baking recipes, and regular butter...nothing on the light butter. Actually, I take that back, there was the Delphi reference, but that was dated march 05...

I already knew about their regular butters, but I saw that the light butter has modified food starch...no source listed.

I don't have a dairy problem, just a fat problem :lol:

And I hate margarine. Thanks for the info, though.

I always wondered whether their flavored hot chocolates like the vanilla, raspberry, and mint flavors were gluten free...can't find an ingredient listing anywhere

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
