I called Purity Farms to ask them whether their ghee is gluten-free and they said there could be cross-contamination.

I think I've been reacting to Purity Ghee so now I'm looking for gluten-free ghee or gluten-free lard.

I use coconut oil or saved drippings from cooking uncured bacon. The bacon fat adds great flavor to food and resists high temperature cooking. I have also made my own ghee (clarified butter), by slowly heating organic butter until the milk solids rise to the top and I scoop them off.

I use the same, coconut oil and bacon fat from uncured bacon. I keep a jar of the drippings in the refrigerator or freezer.

Thanks for the ideas, but I am allergic to coconut oil and don't eat bacon.
