Hi ya..

Just wondered if any one has problems with peanut butter?? I had a few spoonfuls and I feel so nauseous and hungover feeling feel awful...Id been doing pretty well and thought a couple of spoon fuls wont hurt..

It only contains: nuts, sugar, rapeseed oil

I dont understand..but I do seem to get this nausea with fat...do you think it sounds like liver/ gallbladder problem..I dont get this nausea as bad if I eat gluten..its different symptoms..

Hope your having nice day everyone!!

Peanut butter normally should not bother you, unless you cannot have peanuts. If oils tend to bother you, then maybe that was it. My peanut butter was one of the things I never gave up--it has been a staple in my diet from the beginning. I have switched to Skippy Natural--the ingredients are: roasted peanuts, sugar, palm oil, and salt.

It's the only processed food I eat. It has no trans fat, only 3 grams of sugar, no cholesterol, 16 grams of fat, 3.5 grams of saturated fat, 150 mg of sodium, 2 grams of dietary fiber, 7 grams of protein---all in a 2 tablespoon serving! It's the best natural peanut butter I have ever had, it's just as smooth as regular.

Hi Mandy,

I was gluten free and dairy free for a year and still not feeling 100%. So I went on the Specific Carbohydrate diet. As I was introducing foods and noting reactions, I realized that peanut butter always made me have D the next day. Previous to SCD, I had eaten peanut butter everyday on my gluten free waffle! No wonder I wasn't getting better. So, yes, I too react to peanut butter. It is a legume, and a tough food for some to tolerate. I have since switched to almond butter and cashew butter. Cashew butter is sweeter, and almond butter tastes great with a little honey. I get these fresh ground at my grocery store.

Why is there a warning by my id??

Well, I've read that 50% of celiacs can't have rapeseed oil, and then there's the added sugar. So I suppose if you wanted to rule out peanuts specifically, try a handful of peanuts fresh from the shell. Keep in mind that peanuts tend to have mold, which a lot of people react to.

Personally, I like the natural peanut butter that is only peanuts and salt - no sugar or anything else added. You can find it from Smuckers and other brands. The one Walmart has is cheap junk though.

Fyi...I was getting out the peanut butter and thought I would read the ingredients. Smart Balance brand. Peanuts, natural oil blend (flaxseed abd palm fruit oils), salt, molasses. gluten-free, Lf, and vegan. No hydrogenated oil, no trans fat, no refined sugar, has omega 3's from the flax. I like the taste but not my hubby. Good for baking too.

No one put a contaminated knife in the jar did they???

Phyllis28 Apprentice

I only use natural peanut butter (nuts and salt only). I also have my own jar which no one else uses so it can not be contaminated.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mamaof7! It means for the one celiac disease antibody test that was ordered, she tested negative. However, other tests should have been ordered, especially for someone so young who would have an immature immune system where there would be a high probability of being IGA deficient.  The one test that was ordered was an IGA-based antibody test. It is not the only IGA antibody test for celiac disease that can be run. The most common one ordered by physicians is the TTG-IGA. Whenever IGA antibody tests are ordered, a "total IGA" test should be included to check for IGA deficiency. In the case of IGA deficiency, all other IGA tests results will be inaccurate. There is another category of celiac disease antibody tests that can be used in the case of IGA deficiency. They are known as IGG tests. I will attach an article that gives an overview of celiac disease antibody tests. All this to say, I would not trust the results of the testing you have had done and I would not rule out your daughter having celiac disease. I would seek further testing at some point but it would require your daughter to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months in order for the testing to be valid. It is also possible she does not have celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") but that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, or just "gluten sensitivity" for short) which is more common. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though the two conditions share many of the same symptoms. We have testing to diagnose celiac disease but there are no tests for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. A gluten free diet is the solution to both maladies.

      For reference, daughter is 18 mths old. Was having painful severe constipation with pale stool and blood also bloating (tight extended belly.) Liver and gallbladder are normal. Ultrasound was normal. Dr ordered celiac blood test. We took her off gluten after blood draw. She is sleeping better, no longer bloated and stools are still off color but not painful.    "GLIADIN (DEAMID) AB, IGA FLU Value  0.84 Reference Range: 0.00-4.99 No further celiac disease serology testing to be performed. INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Ab, IgA A positive deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA antibody result is associated with celiac disease but is not to be used as an initial screening test due to its low specificity and only occasional positivity in celiac disease patients who are negative for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody."   Anyone know what in the world this means. She isn't scheduled to see GI until late April.

      Hi Trent and Cristiana, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to me.  My daughters GP requested bloods, they came back as showing a possibility of celiac disease, she advised me to continue feeding gluten as normal and wait on a hospital appointment. When we got that the doctor was quite annoyed that the gp hadn’t advised to go gluten free immediately as she explained that her numbers were so high that celiac disease was fairly evident. That doctor advised to switch to a gluten-free diet immediately which we did but she also got her bloods taken again that day as it made sense to double check considering she was maintaining a normal diet and they came back with a result of 128. The hospital doctor was so confident of celiac disease that she didn’t bother with any further testing. Cristiana, thank you for the information on the coeliac UK site however I am in the Rrpublic of Ireland so I’ll have to try to link in with supports there. I appreciate your replies I guess I’ll figure things as we go I just feel so bad for her, her skin is so sore around her mouth  and it looks bad at an age when looks are becoming important. Also her anxiety is affecting her sleep so I may have to look into some kind of therapy to help as I don’t think I am enough to help. thanks once again, it’s great to be able to reach out xx

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding CC. I have been Googling "celiac support groups" for the last couple days and there is nothing in the Northern Illinois area. I might reach out to my GI and dietician, who are through NW Medicine, to see if there are any groups near me. I cannot join any social media groups because I deleted my FB and IG last year and I have no desire to have them back (although I almost made a FB because I'm desperate to connect with more celiacs). I'm glad I have this forum. I am praying God will lead me to more people to relate to. In my opinion, celiac disease is like the only food- related autoimmune disease and it's so isolating. Thanks for walking alongside of me! I'm glad I know how to help my body but it's still not easy to deal with.

      Forgot to add...  Quite a lot of 'tapas' are gluten free. Ones to look for:  Tortilla de patata (a thick omelette made with potatoes and onions) should be 'sin gluten', and chorizo cooked in red wine makes a nice dish.  Look out for sobrasada, which is very Mallorcan, a softer type of sausage/pate which you can spread on gluten free crispbread which you should be able to buy for supermarkets.  Until very recently we could not buy it here in the UK but we've managed to find a local source, and Lidl have started to sell it in tubs, too. Here's more info on it: Sobrasada is a soft, spreadable, cured pork sausage from Spain's Balearic Islands (like Mallorca), distinguished by its reddish color from paprika, sweet-spicy flavor, and pâté-like texture, perfect for spreading on toast, cooking into dishes like eggs or pasta, or drizzling with honey. Its unique texture comes from the island's humid climate preventing full drying, resulting in a semi-soft sausage that's gently aged, unlike drier mainland chorizo.
