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.

      I've heard RO water is bad, too.   Distilled water has all the minerals distilled out of it, so it will pull minerals out of your bones, too.  I only use distilled water to fill up my clothes iron so it won't get mineral deposits inside and quit working. I drink mineral or spring water.

      Scott.  Thank you for your reply. I'm still having symptoms, but significantly better.  I will go back to batch cooking and freezing vegetables.  I have had success with Pict Sweet frozen, single item (not mixed) vegetables.  My Kroger carries very little Pict Sweet variety. Regards, Yaya

      I am hesitant to post this as I have seen many people here recommending RO water.  With that said, I want to share my experience and how RO water now impacts me.  Three or four years ago a local store installed a RO water refill station.  I had been buying gallons of distilled and spring water prior to that.  I switched over to using the RO water refill station saving money by brining in my own clean empty gallon jugs.  Every 6-months I would replace the jugs by buying new gallons of distilled water.  This RO water is the only water I would drink while at home.  Two huge glasses every morning before work and two more after work.  I would also use the RO water to make coffee and hot coco. This past December, prior to my celiac diagnosis, my gut was making more noise than anything I had ever experienced.  Seriously, it was crazy, almost like fire works going off in my stomach.  I happened to pick up some distilled water for my 6-month jug rotation.  Literally, as soon as I started drinking the distilled water my stomach settled a great deal.  I could honestly feel the difference after the first glass of water.  I thought that maybe the RO water from the store's refill station was contaminated with some sort of cleaning agent.  I swore to myself I would never drink from that RO refill station again.  Instead I went back to buying distilled along with gallon jugs of spring water.  No issues with either of those as far as an upset stomach is concerned.  Cost, well that's a different story all together. After being diagnosed marsh 3c, I went shopping at Aldi's for the first time in my life.  I noticed they also sell water by the gallon.  Over the course of the last few weeks, I have purchased a total of 6-gallons of their water.  (Thankfully they were out on two of my visits.)  After having my stomach starting to make noises similar to mid-December again, it dawned on me, maybe its the Aldi water?  Initially I had contributed my bubble gut to some sort of gluten exposure or cross contamination.  Even though everything I have put into my stomach is naturally gluten-free or has been labeled gluten-free / certified gluten-free.  I had assumed that the Aldi water was spring water.  Come to find out, that was a bad assumption.  Looking close at the label it says purified by RO or distillation (or something like that). Again, I switched to different water.  Just like last December, the non-RO water instantly calmed my stomach and even felt better going down the hatch.  This was earlier today by the way.  Prior to creating this post, I did a few searches via Uncle Google.  I bumped into a thread on Reddit (where I am not a member) that has multiple people complaining of GI issues related to RO water.  So my initial thoughts on a cleaning agent in the refill station RO water were likely not correct.  Unfortunately, it seems the RO water itself causing me problems.  I am not sure if we are allowed to post links to other sites and hopefully I will not get into trouble for doing so.  I did try printing the Reddit thread to a PDF file.  Unfortunately, the file is 2MB in size, which is well over the 500KB file attachment limit here on this amazing forum.  Again, hopefully this is ok.  🤞  Here is the Reddit thread. This may not be a popular opinion here, but personally, I will not willingly drink another glass of RO water for the remainder of my life.  Who knows, maybe drinking RO water for the past several years is part of what activated my celiac?  No proof, but just a thought.  Come to find out RO water is well known to leech minerals from your body.  With people like us often lacking minerals to begin with, RO water does not seem like a wise choice.  As the Reddit thread mentions, there are RO water filtration systems that will inject minerals back into the water.  However, those systems are likely not being used at the grocery store refill stations nor by the bottling companies producing RO water for sale at your local store. Please do not shoot the messenger as I am just sharing my personal experience and letting others know that most RO water will leech minerals from your body. God bless and stay well, Known1

      My neighbor's mom was diagnosed with celiac disease 16 years ago.  She is a very kind person and has shared some info about local grocery stores and daily (soon to expire) meat deals.  This evening she brought over 2 slices of Papa Murphy's gluten-free pizza.  It looks to be topped with chicken and spinach.  I asked, "aren't you concerned with cross contamination"?  She said no and apparently eats it on a somewhat regular basis. I found an old article here along with another thread pertaining to Papa Murphy's gluten-free pizza.  The article is quite old, so I do not think it holds much weight nowadays.  The thread I found was also a bit dated, but certainly more recent and relevant.  The information in the thread I found was a bit inconclusive.  Some said they trust Papa Murphy's gluten-free pizza and others were a big no way.  One person even took time to train their local franchise on how to ensure the pizza remains gluten-free without cross contamination. Anyway, being recently diagnosed as marsh 3c, I am currently working on week 3 or 4 in my new gluten-free journey.  I do not want to be rude and toss the pizza out, but I also do not want to have a reaction.  Since she has celiac and obviously ate much or at least some of the pizza, I am leaning towards eating the two slices for lunch tomorrow.  As this thread's title states, what would you do?  Would you eat it or toss it out?  I suppose I could also just give it back to my neighbor to polish off. I look forward to reading your thoughts. Thanks, Known1

      That must have been really upsetting to discover, especially after relying on a product you believed was safe. Labeling can change at any time due to supplier shifts or shared equipment, so it’s always important to double-check packaging—even on products we’ve trusted for years. A “may contain wheat” statement usually indicates potential cross-contact risk rather than an added ingredient, but for people with celiac disease that risk can still be significant. If you’ve been having symptoms, it may take days to weeks to fully settle, depending on the level and duration of exposure. In the meantime, switching to fresh produce or brands that clearly state gluten-free status is a reasonable step. It may also help to contact the manufacturer directly to ask when the labeling changed and what their current cross-contact controls are.
