gluten-free Df Sf Margarine Wanted


F.deSales

Hi.

Does anyone know of a margarine type product that is soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, preservative-free, hydrogenated oils-free and sea salt-free? Maybe something made with canola oil.

I saw something called Pure sunflower sold in UK.

Thanks.

I sure do wish someone would post one but I don't think it is going to happen. I finally gave up looking after reading many, many, many labels and have started using first pressed xtra virgin olive oil. Haven't tried it yet with cinnamon sugar but great with plain pizza crusts or cebe bread.

Well, its not margarine, but ghee is clarified butter, and does not have any casein in it (Safe or those with milk allergies, etc)

I also found mine at whole foods.

My reactions to dairy and soy are too severe (feel like really bad menstrual cramps plus bloating) to risk any soy based margarines or even ghee, which is supposed to be casein free, but still comes from a dairy source. So I use coconut oil, which stays congealed like margarine at temperatures under 75 degrees fahrenheit. I use it for baking, cooking and spreading on breads, squash and other vegies. I also like tahini (sesame butter) on vegies, but especially on spaghetti squash.

Thanks so much for posting this, I was wondering about ghee. I will have to see if I can find it locally or dive into my cookbooks to see if I can make it myself.

I was going to post this same topic the other day! I have also yet to find a margarine which is free of soy, gluten and dairy. I gave up also. I just have been craving cookies lately but I found one that uses coconut oil shortening...we'll see how I like it. I will also look into coconut oil-spread type things. Thanks for the suggestions!'

I use coconut oil instead of butter in nearly everything I bake. It works well.

Coconut oil with a hint of added salt works as a butter substitute on gluten-free toast and what not. Olive oil is a good alternative also.

Fleischmann's Light in the sleeve (not the stick) is made from corn and canola oil. It is claimed to be free of milk and soy. We've been using it for many years and even bake with it. Recently the grocery stores in our area decided to stop carrying it. So, we called Fleischmann's and they told us it could be ordered through any store that already carries other items from their brand. We've got a case on order now. It's the only one on the market we've been able to find thats milk/soy free!

I use Fleischmann's also and have not had any problems with it, I am only gluten and Dairt free though, but I am able to have dairy in a few months. I find this brand to be pretty good though. Sorry I was not too much help.

Somebody said the Fleischman's Light was df, sf and gluten-free in another thread, and it isn't unless I read the wrong ingredients. I looked it up on their website and it has soy in it. Correct me if I'm wrong!

I just looked at our tub of Fleischman's Light and you are right, it now says contains soy at the bottom of the ingredients. We have been relying on that for "butter" for a year, now. Another example of needing to read labels every time!

I am using an Australian brand called Nuttlex.

Coconut oil is wonderful on toast. I don't add any salt to it. Daughter loves it with cinnamon and sugar on top.

If you live in an area with a lot of Jewish people, you might be able to get a brand called Mother's. I have only heard about it and not tried it. But I have also heard that it tastes terrible. They put out a regular margarine, but this is not it. It is one made only for a certain Jewish holiday. Forgive me for not knowing the details better. I am not Jewish and can't remember. Might be passover. I've seen it listed on amazon .com but now there is a caution that the formula has changed and it contains soy. I wouldn't buy it unless I could see a package in my hand and verify the ingredients.

      We are all different and our immune systems are unique. I will say, however, that I have not gotten the impression as a moderator and reading hundreds and hundreds of posts on this forum over the years that a dermatitis herpetiformis outbreak caused by grains other than wheat, barley and rye is common. But perhaps it is more common than we have realized and it could be why it it is seems to be common that those who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis struggle to keep it under control. Perhaps there are qualities found in all cereal grains besides gluten that are contributing factors. Also, have you tried a low iodine diet to see if it helps with your dermatitis herpetiformis? Reportedly, reducing iodine helps some folks afflicted with dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Ok thanks Trents. I had the lesions biopsied and confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis, so I guess dermatitis herpetiformis can be associated with other grains not typically gluten. I appreciate your comment and I'll give Dr Osborne the benefit of the doubt because without him I would never have known of my grain intolerance and would still be suffering today. I simply never read anyone explain how grains could worsen dermatitis herpetiformis and I feel that information should be made much more readily available. Hey if someone tries going grain free and there's no improvement, no loss, however it drastically changed my life for the better and could at least be offered as a suggestion to sufferers from dermatitis herpetiformis. The other option is Dapsome and I wouldn't want anyone taking that chemical if there was a more natural solution. thanks again

      Welcome to the forum, @Richardo! We sometimes run across terms like "rice gluten", "corn gluten", and "oat gluten" but they are used informally and, technically, it is incorrect to speak of grains other than wheat, barley and rye as having gluten. Gluten is a protein with a specific structure found only in wheat, barley and rye. Other cereal grains contain proteins that are more or less similar in structure to gluten in some ways but are not actually gluten. Having said that, the proteins found in these other cereal grains are similar enough to gluten to possibly cause cross reactivity in some celiacs. Cross reactivity also happens with non cereal grain foods as well that have a protein structure similar to gluten. A prime example is dairy (the protein "casein"). Another example may be soy. Other foods can also cause cross reactivity for different reasons, such as microbial transglutaminase (aka, "meat glue") used commonly in pressed meat products. Just so you'll know, Dr. Osborne's claims have not received wide acceptance in the celiac community and are looked upon with skepticism by the medical and scientific community. Although he is a board certified nutritionist, his doctorates are actually in chiropractic medicine and pastoral science: https://www.drpeterosborne.com/about/dr-peter-osborne/ I am not sure Osborne has the training and background to address the chemical structure that defines gluten. I would encourage you to do some research on what gluten actually is. I have done this for myself and came away convinced that only wheat, barely and rye actually contain the protein gluten. I do not doubt your claims that you have breakouts of dermatitis herpetiformis from consuming these other grains. I am just contending it is not actually from gluten.

      I was diagnosed celiac about 15 years ago and followed the usual diet restriction on Wheat, barley and rye and did very well on those restrictions with no problems with dermatitis herpetiformis. 4 years ago I started getting bad rashes on my knees and calves, buttocks, around my waist and my elbows and forearms and hands. It seemed to last about 11/2 to 2 months then clear up for a month and come back  again. I never changed anything in my diet and a dermatologist told me I  must getting  cross contamination, which I knew I wasn't.  Finally after struggling with it all that time, I watched a video by Dr Osborne who sited a study done in England showing that ALL grains (rice, corn etc) contain gluten. I went on a totally grain free diet and have now been 100 percent free of dermatitis herpetiformis for over a year. I tried a test and ate corn flour and it started to come back so I'm off all grains again. Long story I know, but my question is, why is practically EVERY celiac site private or Govt only mentioning the BIG 3 and never mentions other grains as a possible means of contamination? I am free  from a horribly uncomfortable condition now and I know there are others who would be encouraged by this.

      Your chest pain could be related to the Sarcoidosis. "When it affects the lungs, wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or chest pain may occur." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcoidosis   The bowel incontinence could be caused by surgical damage (or scar tissue) to the cauda equina nerve bundle in the lumbar area of the spine. Or, it could be related to unintentional gluten exposure.
