Peanut Butter

**DoubleMint** · 11-23-2005, 08:58 PM

I noticed that peanut butter bloates me, the peanut butter I used wasn't the 'all natural' one. I used to eat it before and I was associating the bloat with something else in my diet, I cleaned things up, had a pb/12 grain sandwich on monday afternoon and woke up bloated on tuesday morning. Is anyone else reacting like this to peanut butter ?

not me personally...my symptoms are different.

But what you've described sounds like a food allergy.

Peanut allergies are very common.

Try switching to almond butter and see if you still get bloated

I would try not to combine carbs and fats in one meal. I think pb/jelly sandwiches were my downfall.

What would you say the safe time period between eating carbs and fats be ?? I guess it would depend on how fast my metabolism is. I have my Udo's with rice, I guess that's not good either. I have problems finding the correct times to get all my macros at correct times. This is mainly due to my day schedule.

The advice one can get here is priceless. Anyway, thanks for the responses. I won't be udo'ing my rice anymore, but I have to admit it tasted awesome

. My goal is to bulk up to 200 and cut. I would like to do it clean so I don't have to kill myslef to lose all that lard. Right now I am at 5'10" 184 lb, I would estimate around 15%bf. I will get my diet and post it in another thread for you guys to critique, I already have some questions lined up, and one of them is about Udo's. Thanks again.

im no longer a fan of the natural peanut butter unless its absolutely necessary...i prefer getting my fats from dairy sources such as eggs, cottage cheese, and then i also get some good fats from lean ground beef and all natural almonds.
