Pages: 1 Natural Nut Butters       #281953 - 09/13/06 06:16 AM Edit Reply Quote Jordy Reged: 08/12/06 Posts: 2095 I bought some and it has some oil just sitting on top. Maybe 1/2 inch? I'm sure you guys all know what I mean. It wasn't added to the nut butter. The ingredients only list almonds as the ingredient...so I guess this settled on top. Should I mix it into the butter or dump it out? Does dumping it out make it "safer"? Does dumping it still allow you to spread the butter? What do you guys usually do?

Yes, the directions say to mix it all in and then refrigerate, but I was just wondering if it might be safer to just dump the oil....since the directions were intended for "normal" functioning bodies! You still think I should keep all the oil? -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Natural Nut Butters       #282049 - 09/13/06 01:38 PM Edit Reply Quote demo Reged: 08/15/06 Posts: 48 Loc: New York i seem to do okay with the oil in it. i'm not sure how the butter would be consistency-wise without it, but i'm sure you could at least dump some of the oil if you're worried about it. i wish i could be more helpful..

Thats one food I seem fine with is pb regular . You can though pour it off the top and it is pretty much the same or just stir it in. Then put in fridge.

It still seems "oily" but my doctor thinks the fat will help with the C. -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: That's what I did       #282371 - 09/15/06 08:36 AM Edit Reply Quote kalosis Reged: 08/20/06 Posts: 71 I know my nutritionist said you need a certain amount to lubricate. Really though I think dumping some of the oil isn't going to take away that much of the fat.

Huh?? I thought one of the reasons we eat a low-fat diet is because fat slows down your GI tract. I don't know about you, but I want mine moving as quickly as possible! -------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lisa, IBS-C (Vegan) Stable since July 2007!
