Before my diagnosis I had eaten about a jar of almond butter a week, easily I would put it on everything from blueberries, to oatmeal....I would also mix walnuts in my oatmeal when I didn't use the almond butter...and I always added olive oil to my chicken...but I was always bloated and rarely had bm. I had to substantially reduce my fat intake and for me that made a world of difference, although I do miss my healthy fats. What I do and it seems to work is instead of having a serving of 2T of almond butter, I have 2t at a time that seems to alleviate any problems but I am still getting my servings of healthy fats in and it diminishes my cravings for the nuts. Also, you may have an intolerance for peanuts. That is entirely possible as peanuts are a major allergen and can cause digestive problems if you are intolerant to it....peanuts are not actually a nut, they are a legume (like beans and lentils) so this would make sense as those cause me discomfort and whenever I have peanuts I am super screwed up for about 3 days after....try subbing almond butter in small quantities...steer clear of cashew butter as that is also not really a nut (it's in a classification all it's own) and is also hard to digest.
