I have always loved peanut butter and i've been trying to eat it only in moderation (usually I glob it on a sandwich, basically I add bread to my peanutbutter) but today when I ate it my tummy was still rumbling afterwards I even ate it on a plain bagel..does anyone else still eat peanut butter? I'm sure gonna miss it if I can't!

I do but only after laying down a layer of soluble fiber cereal,etc. Then I`ll have in small quantity w/sourdough bread.

I can't eat it at all anymore... but what I can eat is soy butter. It doesn't taste quite the same, and I admit it, but it's better than living totally without!

Try the light kind. It's got less fat and more sugar - but that's ok for IBS. Spread it thinly - there's lots of flavour in a little bit of PB. Enjoy. Don't give it up. It's a great source of protein. Jsut serve with care and keep the amounts small.

Now that I'm stable I can eat a small amount of peanut butter in a sandwich. Like maybe 1 TBSP for two slices of bread. Plus a little wild blueberry jam of course!!

PBJ's are one of my staples. But when I'm having trouble I stick with plain bread!

I can't eat "name" brands but I can eat all-natural. The ingredients list is peanuts and salt, no extra fats or oil put in. The soluble fiber bread is the key now - I used to eat it by the spoonful!

Hi,

I love peanut butter, too. In fact, it is one of the safe foods for me. I use Peter Pan creamy....can't have a brand that has molasses (that bothers me) and I toast a waffle and spray a little butter on it and spread a little peanut butter on it. The peanut butter melts and mmmmmm it is good.

Peanuts contain BOTH soluable and insoluable fiber (they aren't all insoluable - thats why they cause people to have gas!)...I can do peanutBUTTER - just not the peaNUTS(yet).
And I find a little goes a long way. Try a SMEAR instead of a SPOONFULL you'll see! It is SO good for you too, protein, magnesium, zinc, protein, fiber and even calcium!!! Enjoy. Question. Why would SOY be any better? More soluable fiber? I avoid soy - I avoid "estrogen-like" food properties/my mother had breast cancer.

Some people just can't tolerate peanuts. Also I think the soy may be lower in fat. But certainly with your risk factor there's no need for you to eat soy. There's plenty of other alternatives. I don't really eat soy either and I've managed to stay stable for almost 6 months!
