I was at the grocery getting milk and eggs and saw a butter spread that Paul harvey backs, it's called Smart Balance. On the side it said Gluetin free. I am going to try it as soon as I run out of my butter. Have any of you tried it? Love Oma

OMA-------yup----I used it for awhile--and its pretty good
I only stopped cus I am not a BUTTER person!!!

Now on the other hand, Lou could use the entire tub----of regular butter--but since his surgery he did try all those spreads BUT went back to butter in MODERATION!!! Surgeon said it was *OK*--

Hows the knee doing??? still *rocking* or are U up and about on your own--hope all is well

I know my parents use it and like it! To me it isnt the same as butter, but if I turn out to have the milk/casien intollerance then I guess I cant have the butter...right?

Yep, tried it and continue to use it since starting my diet. It isn't too bad! I'm not much of a butter person either but it is all we use now.

I use Smart Balance and now I've got my kids using it too. Good for eating, good for cooking.

That's what I wanted....opinions. I am going to try it. I am a butter person.
Barb...the knee is coming along. I only use my cane if I am going shopping or walking. Love Oma

It must just be me: I thought it was passable for spreading on crackers, or anything that you eat cold, but melted it was icky. And since I don't eat bread or anything cold & buttered. . . But that's just me, and it sounds like I'm in the minority!

See ya, Marsha
