I had a banana last night with almond butter from Trader Joes. Two hours later I am laying wide awake , feeling like I drank coffee. My mouth was dry, urinated several times, and the next day pain in wrist and above knee. I am very in tune with my body and know when I eat something that is not right. I am not sure if it was contaminated with gluten or if there is pesticides in it that bothered me. Wondering if anyone else has been bothered by the trader joes almond butter. I will buy organic from another company from now on. I do not trust them and I know many of the nuts say it is on the same line as wheat. Why can't these places make it more pure? More and more people are having problems with gluten.

I've been eating Tjoe's almond butter regularly w/out issue for probably 6 yrs. Mostly the Crunchy, tho I doubt creamy vs crunchy is a factor.

This label has the shared equipment warning for peanuts, tree nuts & soy. No mention of wheat.

I don't know if an organic one should be any different w.r.t. shared equipment. Isn't it a voluntary declaration? A company can use shared equipment for EVERYthing & not put it on the label at all.

I did have a horrible reaction once to a cashew butter I'll never try again & never knew what the prob was. Otherwise never a problem w/ cashews or 'shewbutters.

One almond butter brand kept pissing me off w/ hidden bits of almond shells, but not sure if it was an organic one. Maybe Marantha(sp?).

Hope you find one that works cuz it sure is a no-fuss easy & portable way to get something in the belly. I just dig in w/ a spoon at work.

I have had some issues with the Trader Joes creamy almond butter and am wondering if there really is some cross contamination with it.   It seems that every time I have some I very quickly have stomach pain, bloating and headaches.     I did not have any dairy today or on previous days when I have tried..so this must be the culprit.   I don't have this reaction when using the single serve packets of another brand. (I cant remember which one that is )

      Blood Tests showed positive for celiac / Endoscopy confirmed no evidence of Celiac

      By EmilyKate · Posted

      So I’ve been eating gluten free since doing a further blood test and that came back giving a positive result, they said I could go back and have another endoscopy  but just didn’t want to go through that again. I’ve been gluten free since October and do feel a lot better so have just accepted that this is the way for me now, even though results are still ambiguous.

      Daughter's high test results.

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  My daughter has reacted to casein and the symptoms are unmissable- totally gluten symptoms. Joint pain, nausea, intestinal spasms. This has happened ten months after we went dairy free along with gluten free post diagnosis. I am certain she is reacting to casein. We never did oats for the same fear. Not even going to try the Certified one.  It might be worth looking at the meds- xanthan gum, guar gum, and cellulose gum is also what she reacts to. I bet you’ll find them in every OTC for kids.  We have stopped using things like honey -!: ketchup as well. Basically anything coming out of a packet.  My daughter was diagnosed with >100 ttg. Five months later in was down to 13. But then she had literally no symptoms.    As time has passed she reacts to slightest of things. We have obviously stopped casein, we only needed it for butter, because almost every cooking oil has been prone to contamination for us. It’ll be interesting to see what her labs look like in June, which will be an annual antibody test. We decided not to test her at six months this time because I was certain she was reacting to many things . She is six now and was diagnosed at five. I cannot tell you how wrong the doc was when she said oh just don’t eat gluten and she’ll be fine. Doctors send ups packing like that. I wished it was as simple as that.    I hope your daughter feels better soon.

      Need advice for some relief!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
