I think Skippy has hydroginated (sp?) oil? I always get Laura Scudders because the only ingredients are peanuts. You have to mix it but you can even skim off a little of the oil so the rest of it is not quite as fatty. But yeah, nuts can be very hard for me. A little PB on a bagel is fine, but plain peanuts or almonds - ouch.

Sorry to hear about the bad PB experience. Skippy's Natural is what I use and I usually have no problems. I have a small amount almost every day. The advice to wait awhile and try it again with something you know is safe is a good idea - I ate some the day after an attack from something else and it didn't really help - I have to give myself a few days with just really bland and safe foods.

You might also want to try almond butter. It's the same thick, nutty spread but about half the fat of peanut butter and more fibre. I'm IBS - D and eat it all the time with bread or rice crackers and it's fine

the thing with fat is not how much or what kind you eat but what percentage of the food in your gut at one time is fat. You could eat a whole tablespoon of olive oil if you ate almost a loaf of french bread with it (hyperbole, not mathematical BTW).
So for PB, or anything fatty like mayo or coconut milk or oil or margarine, you have to watch the amount compared to the amount of low fat calories you eat with it. Eating a teaspoon of PB alone would be wrong, but a tablespoon of PB on bread with safe jam or banana (yum) may be fine, fat-wise that is. A person could be sensitive to PB without the fat equation entered in (poor them).
Try taking 1-2c rice milk, a frozen banana and one spoon of PB (I do the reduced fat skippy) and blending it into a malt. See how that goes.
Also FYI this sort of question is best answered on the diet board- recipes are for the recipe board.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Sorry...I tried asking questions on the main board and they seem to sink like stones, so since this was food-related I thought it might go better here. Seems I'm still learning the rules.

I don't know if it is just because it is that time of the month, or if I'm just seriously missing peanut butter, but I decided today that I wanted to try again. So...I toasted myself some fresh Italian bread (the slices aren't as big as a regular piece of white bread) and put some of the Skippy Naturals PB on it with some concord grape fruit spread (no HFCS or additives). And so far so good...!!!
Hopefully this will mean I can have PB again! 
Maybe my digestion was just in a bad mood that day.

Awesome! Go, you! That's great, just keep the same 'safety' precautions in mind everytime you want to eat the pb, and hopefully, you will be ok next time as well!
Congrats!

Hmm...didn't exactly have an "attack" this morning, but things were not as solid as I'd like them to be...!  Felt fine otherwise. Oh well, it could be worse. It could also be related to my cycle. I think as long as I keep it in small amounts and with plenty of IF, as you suggested, I should be okay.
I so missed my peanut butter!
