is peanut butter good for diarrhea - #25983
I am dealing with some frustrating digestive issues. Like, last week I had this horrible bout of diarrhea, and it just wouldn't quit! After trying some basic stuff to settle my stomach, I thought about peanut butter since I remembered hearing about how it's kinda soothing for the gut. But now I’m not sure, is peanut butter good for diarrhea? I mean, some people say it’s got healthy fats and protein, right? But what if it makes it worse instead? I tried a bit yesterday thinking it might help, but then my stomach felt a bit funny afterwards. I don't know if it was just the peanut butter or another thing I ate. I've also read that some folks with sensitive stomachs have to be careful with nut butters in general. Is that true? I'm really just looking for advice because I don't wanna make this situation worse! Like, can anyone share their experience or knowledge? Is peanut butter good for diarrhea or should I avoid it completely? Would love any tips on what to eat or not eat while I’m dealing with this! Thanks!
