So I eat alot of nuts every day, I also eat peanut butter every other day.
Nuts cause problems inside my mouth one nut at a dodgy angle and that's my mouth destroyed for a week.
Can i just replacement nuts for peanut butter???

Peanut butter is just ground peanuts (with added oil sometimes), so yes, you can eat nut betters if you feel it's a good enough replacement.0

Wait. What? Do you mean the sharpness hurts you?
You can buy almond butter or use a small chopper. You don't *have* to eat nuts. .
If you just like nuts but they are pointy, the chopper will work.1 -

Yeah their sharp and if there sitting in me mouth at a funny angle they stab me right in the gums and then it's dooms day for my mouth for a week..
I just eat peanut butter plus it's cheaper for me then2 -
You're shelling them first right? I mean, just asking, this is the only time I ever heard nuts described as sharp. I'm reminded of the person who though boiled eggs were gross because they were so crunchy... they thought you ate the shell.13

Honestly? I have very sensitive gums and teeth but nuts never bother me. Have you been to the dentist in the past year? There may be a health issue. I've never heard anything like this. It shouldn't be hurting for a week.2 -
Well prob ain't a week I'm over guessing it, it's where I throw them in my mouth, chew like mad say an almond is at a funny angle stabs me in the gym when I slamming my teeth down and boom sore month for a little while1

Right?
Of course I savor my 170 calories-per-ounce almonds, so they go in my mouth one at a time and I always know where the pointy parts are; right between my molars.4 -
Ain't got time to eat slowly. on a building site so it's bam in your mouth and crack on1

I bite my cheek when I chew on gum unless I am very careful... which is not 100% of the time!
Nuts are a "high calories in a small package" item.
Nut butters are nuts turned into a paste.
Almond butter would have slightly different nutrients than peanut butter than cashew butter than walnut butter (if there were a walnut butter you could buy).
A variety is probably nicer for you as compared to ONLY eating peanut butter... but there is nothing wrong with a PB sandwich if you can afford the calories!!!0 -
When eating for nutrient balance in our bodies, be aware that too much of one nutrient can create an imbalance of another nutrient which may go unnoticed for awhile. Here is a link "Effects of Eating Excess Nuts and the Right Intake" which might be helpful. https://www.md-health.com/eating-too-many-nuts.html
Years ago I experienced some troubles from imbalances by eating too many of certain types of nuts.0 -

Then, sure, nut butters packaged in whatever way makes them quick and easy for you to eat. There's this nifty old-fashioned thing where you grind up wheat, mix it with water and yeast and bake it in loaves, slice it, and spread the nut butter between two slices. For convenience, you can buy the baked wheat loaves pre-sliced. Really easy to eat, except it can stick to the roof of your mouth. I recommend washing down with liquid of your choice. I like milk. You can put it in a thermos. 8 -

That's a good question, and I didn't see where you answered it (apologies if I missed it).
What you're reporting sounds really odd and unusual, as if your gums may be over-sensitive. There are some gum issues that can be a precursor to more serious health problems, so if you have unusual sensitivity, that wouldn't be a thing to take lightly.2 -
Perhaps cashews are softer to chew than almonds if you really enjoy nuts.0

Y’all don’t laugh, but when we were in Europe during the holidays we bought a bag of roasted chestnuts from a street vendor. All holiday good cheery, warm and fuzzy, right? We were saying,”ewww, what’s the big deal? These are kinda gross. Why would people write songs about these?!”
We got through half the bag before we realized everyone else nearby was cracking the shells and eating the innards.
Boy, did we feel dumb. At least we scored a triple ration of fiber that day, lol.
We’ve also had visitors here who thought you were supposed to eat the whole boiled peanut, since the shells are so soft.
Lesson being, never assume people know what you think to be elementary.4 -
Time for a trip to the dentist.1

Now picturing OP aggressively chewing peanut butter.2

Snorted my ramen.
I served babybel cheese (small individual cheese wrapped in red wax) to a client once at a catering tasting. On a cheese plate. The chef had opted to cut them in half, revealing the cheese, but he left the wax on for drama or some other cheffy reason.
As I’m doing my presentation, I watch the client pick up a wax encased cheese. Put the entire thing in her mouth. Chew, swallow.
I said nothing. They signed the contract. I made a note that all day-of/event foods needed to be completely unwrapped.
Maybe eat cheese instead?
It seems pretty soft even if you eat the wrapper..4 -

Just be careful switching to nut butters because a lot of them have added sugars and yucky oils. I love Nut Butters of all varieties, but stick with the "natural" ones without additives or extra ingredients. A good (imho) nut butter generally will only have 2 ingredients - nuts and salt.
Also, and not that you asked, but I'd highly recommend seeing your dentist, I'd be very concerned about your gums being cut so easily.5 -
Hmmm I look into the dentist, erm did the peanut butter challenge it was like eating glue, had to have a hot drink to melt the bloody stuff1

See when you're a Brit and you realise you're getting made fun of but you kinda earned it, you either double down or lean in.2 -
Mouth is better now, no dentist is needed
