I believe Butter Buds are dairy - so no, they are not safe. I use I Can't Believe it's not Butter Light - this does contain a small amount of dairy, but I use VERY little of it and I usually do ok. Others may be able to suggest a completely dairy-free butter substitute.

Welcome to the Boards. Boy, am I glad to see you. I'm 51 and, although people on here don't discuss age much, I have a sneaking suspicion I'm on the high end. Bunch of young whipper-snappers around here.
I looked up ButterBuds and their Website says:
Quote:
What are the ingredients in Butter Buds?
Butter Buds contains maltodextrin (a natural carbohydrate derived from corn), natural butter flavor (extracted from the butter oils and then dried to a powder-like form), salt, dehydrated butter, guar gum and baking soda.
What this means to me is that ButterBuds has dairy derivatives in it, so strictly speaking, it's off the menu. If the amount of dairy is insignificant, you may be able to tolerate it - some people can handle small amounts of dairy with no trouble. Unfortunately, the only way to know is to try. My advice would be to avoid it until you're stable on the diet, then try some and see how your tummy reacts.
In the future, you might get more attention to a question like this if you start it as its own post, rather than making it a reply to something else. That way people who aren't interested in who cooked what, for example, but are interested in ButterBuds will see an appropriate topic for your post.
You can also do a Search to find information that already exists. I just did a search on ButterBuds and found this existing thread that mentions it. (I should have followed my own advice and searched before I checked it out on my own!)
I hope this helps. Good luck with the diet.
