I'm so so about peanut butter but just tried some organic almond butter that is incredible. I know it's high fat but am wondering if it would be ok in moderation. Has anyone had any trouble with nut butters? It's just nice to have a change from butter flavoured oil spray on my toast.

if you can eat the nuts and its pure nut butter you should be fine in moderation- I do almond and sesame seed butters in moderation.. they are so good and add so much flavor in a small amount.

I've been eating cashew butter on my bagels here and there, and I've been fine with it.  I was really surprised at that, too - peanut butter has always bothered me - but I seem to do fine with cashew. I'm trying almond next!

I eat organic almond butter but 1/2 Tbsp. max - isn't a lot but it tastes great on half a bagel! That's a 4 fat gram snack if you buy fat-free bagels

My sister, who has had a lifelong nut allergy, has just discovered she is not allergic to almonds, so I am wondering if they are more benign all around.

I can't eat peanut or soy nut butter. 
I should try almond butter. With me, I know right away if it's too rich for my system. if you can eat it with no bad reaction, I'd think it's ok.

I think as far as IBS is concerned, all nuts are pretty much equal, because of the fat content. But that's really interesting that she can eat almonds. Hmm.
Almonds never bothered me either. But I'm in the opposite situation: I can't touch peanuts with a 10-foot pole, but I seem to be fine with any other nut.

Maybe that is why people with IBS are less likely to have a reaction.
