A peanut butter question...

I've had peanut butter make me feel a little oogy, but nothing serious.  I just go with the good old Skippy and Jif.  Maybe Sunbutter or Almond butter would be okay for you?  There's  an organic brand called Justin's that sells small 1 oz packets of Almond and Peanut butter if you want to try a little and not buy a whole jar.

Target has them for a great price, FYI. My younger son love those!

Have you tried PB2, OP? 

No, I haven't. I figured if even just plain peanuts make me sick, that will too. Sucks.

Yeah, you know, I've tried almond butter, but there's nothing like plain ol' PB. I will miss it.

I've gotten a bit tired of egg for breakfast so I tried a slice of toast with peanut butter yesterday. I felt like crud all day. I've been avoiding breads for the most part since surgery so that could have been it, but it was a bad first taste of peanut butter post-surgery. :(  I miss peanut butter.  I know it has a lot of oil so maybe that's the issue? The fat content is too high? I only buy Peter Pan.

Oh, and that burping thing - ugh. I get that sometimes. I haven't pinpointed it to a specific food. I think it's when I eat too quickly. I only get 30 minutes for lunch at work so if I have to prepare anything it cuts into my basically 20 minutes once I get into the break area. I can't ever seem to eat slowly at work. I've switched to shakes for lunch.

You could be right. It may be the fat in it. The weird thing is that I ate it all the time before, about a year after my surgery. But now, two years out, I can't have any. I just fell icky each time I try. So I haven't had any for awhile now.

The PB2 is dramatically reduced fat, but all the taste. I use it in my shakes from time to time and you can actually mix it with water to make a spreadable peanut butter. Give it a try! :)

Couple of things come to mind - GB issue or beginning of food sensitivity... Or allergy.. 

I know it's not my GB, that's long gone. Maybe food sensitivity. I can't have milk either. I get super bloated and I have to run to the bathroom. Same thing happens with the peanut butter (or peanuts in any form). But I was thinking maybe others might be having the same issue.

If you can have a tsp of Almond butter with no problem - then it is not fat - but possible allergy to PB.   I would give it a total rest for 3-6 months and try again.
