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.

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      @lizzie42, You're being a good mom, seeking answers for your son.  Cheers! Subclinical thiamine deficiency commonly occurs with anemia.  An outright Thiamine deficiency can be precipitated by the consumption of a high carbohydrate meal.   Symptoms of Thiamine deficiency include feeling shakey or wobbly in the legs, muscle weakness or cramps, as well as aggression and irritability, confusion, mood swings and behavior changes.  Thiamine is essential to the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine which keep us calm and rational.   @Jsingh, histamine intolerance is also a symptom of Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is needed to prevent mast cells from releasing histamine at the slightest provocation as is seen in histamine intolerance.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine from the body.  Without sufficient thiamine and other B vitamins to clear it, the histamine builds up.  High histamine levels can change behavior, too.  High histamine levels are found in the brains of patients with schizophrenia.  Thiamine deficiency can also cause extreme hunger or conversely anorexia.   High carbohydrate meals can precipitate thiamine deficiency because additional thiamine is required to process carbohydrates for the body to use as fuel.  The more carbohydrates one eats daily, the more one needs additional thiamine above the RDA.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Keep in mind that gluten-free processed foods like cookies and such are not required to be fortified and enriched with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts are.  Limit processed gluten-free foods.  They are often full of empty calories and unhealthy saturated fats and additives, and are high in histamine or histamine release triggers.  It's time you bought your own vitamins to supplement what is not being absorbed due to malabsorption of Celiac disease.  Benfotiamine is a form of Thiamine that has been shown to improve intestinal health as well as brain function. Do talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with the essential vitamins and minerals while your children are growing up gluten free.  Serve nutritionally dense foods.  Meats and liver are great sources of B vitamins and minerals. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease.   Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease.  Though having the genes for Celiac is not diagnostic in and of itself, taken with the antibody tests, the anemia and your reaction to gluten, it may be a confirmation you have Celiac disease.   Do discuss Gastrointestinal Beriberi with your doctors.  In Celiac disease, Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.  The digestive system can be affected by localized Thiamine deficiency which causes symptoms consistent with yours.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly is beneficial.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, helps improve intestinal health.  All eight B vitamins, including Thiamine (Benfotiamine), should be supplemented because they all work together.   The B vitamins are needed in addition to iron to correct anemia.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!
