I am guessing you mean stool type 6 on the Bristol Stool Scale which is described as "fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool".
In other words, when you eat peanut butter you believe your stool becomes more D-like. How do you know it is the fat in the peanut butter and not the insoluble fiber from the nuts that is changing the consistency? 1 tablespoon of peanut butter contains about 1 gram of dietary fiber most of which is insoluble fiber. And are you sure it is peanut butter and not other things in your diet?
I believe Heather tries to accommodate both D and C. Essentially she follows the generally accepted approach of removing all cereal bran from the diet and eating as much insoluble from fiber vegetables/fruits as possible but always with a good soluble fiber base. This requires some experimenting to find out what ratio of soluble to insoluble fiber works best for you. For example, in my case I am IBS-D. I need to have more soluble fiber than insoluble fiber in every meal or snack. If I get just a bit too much insoluble fiber within 12-16 hours I start moving up the Bristol scale towards D.
