peanut butter

FitnessLover001

Does anyone else get really constipated off of peanut butter? I LOVE it, and have eaten it my whole life, but recently (last 6 months), I get so constipated off of it. I don't know if i eat too much of it (i have eaten a 2lb jar within a week sometimes) but does anyone else have this problem? I don't want to give it up forever but I don't know a better substitute either

How do you know it's the peanut butter causing the constipation?

FitnessLover001

well because when i don't eat it i feel okay and have bowel movements, but when I do eat it, it's harder for me to have a bowel movement

I always thought peanuts did the opposite.

Peanut butter is basically oil and fiber -- both good for constipation.

For me, the problem was cheese. Too much is evil!

Natural peanut butter and almond butter usually make me go. But stay away from that processed gunk like reeses, Skippy , and jif. All that staff will most likely back u up like a block of cheese would.

How much fiber are you eating?

I find I am more constipated when I eat a lot of fiber from protein bars, veggies, & burritos (darn you Red's burritos & Quest bars for being so tasty).

Just keep drinking water & if you like prunes try to eat a few of them.

I eat Pb2 instead of the regular PB. It does not make me constipated and I have it everyday.
