Peanuts

Do peanuts give anyone else severe stomach cramping (eggs do the same to me for some reason...). I have tried many different types of peanut butter (regular, low fat, all natural, organic...) & I'm not worried about gluten and/or casein contamination - yet each time I get these really severe stomach cramps. Just kind of wondering if anyone has any experience with this...

My son's GI told us, while we were still searching for answers, that some people can have allergic reactions in their stomach/intestines.

Just an idea.

YES. peanuts and peanut butter WRECK my intestines- they feel like rocks from my stomach on down- thru their entire journey (sorry tmi).

some people have problems digesting peanuts, cause they have problems digesting Legumes. Peanuts are Legumes and not nuts. i could eat almost a whole bag of almond m&ms, and not have any problems (other than a sore jaw).. but more than a few peanut m&ms, and im in for hours of painful gas :angry:

Yes, allergies can definitely cause GI symptoms. My journey with tested food allergies confirmed that to me.

Very interesting... I wonder if it is an intolerance though (I really like PB & am hoping I can have it, and dairy also, again someday).

Yes, I can eat tree nuts without any problem, it is only peanuts. And it is so painful! I guess I am going to have to buy some almond butter instead.

Have you tried sunflower seed butter in place of peanut butter? You can make your own, or there's a product on the market called Sunbutter. I've made this, and it tastes so similar to peanut butter, I wouldn't have known it wasn't, had I not made it myself!

cassP Contributor

yes! ive had that sunbutter- it's DELISH... i also love the almond butter brand: "Barney Butter"... honestly- i have become so accustomed to these, that i dont like peanut butter anymore! OR the smell of it !

same with m&ms... i dont even like the taste of the peanut ones

I am mildly allergic to egg whites, and when I eat them, my only symptom is GI discomfort. So, yes, definitely possible it's a mild allergy. Could also be an intolerance, though.

I don't care much for sun butter myself, but almond and cashew butters are both fantastic!

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
