Hi there,

I'm currently on pureed foods until 11/18 when I advance to soft. I wanted to get your thoughts on Peanut Butter. It's not on any of my sample diet plans/lists, but I had some mixed with a little jelly yesterday and it really filled me up. Nothing got stuck or disagreed with me, but I wanted to see if anyone was told that they should stay away from this until we advance further in our diets.

the only think I was told about avoiding nuts and such was they can be a slider food and cause gas.

I figure if they are not abused and don't cause discomfort , almonds and walnuts are great for you ;o) JMO of course.

I think both peanut butter and jelly's are high in sugar. My doc told me to stay away from those types of foods. :smile2:

Hi Juliansmom,

I have mix PB in my shakes but have not had it as a straight food (other than maybe a lick of the spoon).

My only concern is that it tends to stick in your mouth, and you really aren't supposed to drink anything while you are eating.

PB does have high fat content, but it you staywithin your diet limits, I can't see how it can hurt.

my 2 cents worth.

They reccomend puting PB in shakes during the liquid stage....dont' see how it's bad. It's full of protein and good for ya! I would just use an organic (tends to have less sugar).
