Interesting. I cannot tolerate peanuts after a lifetime of consuming them but chalk it up to glyphosate practices in modern farming. Perhaps the problem is the glyphosate and not the peanuts themselves.

Almond Butter is a great sub for peanut butter.

Vitacost.com stocks a variety of organic peanut butter options.

I always read the labels and just because it says organic, doesn't mean the final product sold to us actually is. Might start with organic peanuts and then they add all the BS.

I think if you can find organic peanuts you could make your own peanut butter. Some stores have grinders to make peanut butter.

Do you have a Sprouts Market or Whole Foods near you? I've also purchased organic PB at my Costco. I'm closer to West Coast so maybe those entities are more localized over here.

A close friend who loved and ate strawberries all her life suddenly (in her 60s when it happened) had a sudden severe allergic reaction to them. It always seems odd, but I wonder what might be on the strawberries.

Was this reaction shortly after being vaccinated? The adjuvants used to strengthen the immune reaction to the antigen in the vaccine is nonspecific and can cause autoimmune or allergic reactions to other things.

I don't really know. This was about 18 years ago, but I can't know if she'd had any sort of vaccine.
