They deserve credit for warning everyone about a situation people might not have realized was dangerous. Damn.
Something doesn't add up to me. That is not a ridiculous amount of peanut butter for one week. We would hear about this more than some random reddit post if it was real.
That is what they're admitting to, I think we can assume it has often been around double that.
I had something similar happen to me, but instead of pounds of peanut butter i was substituting lunch for trail mix too often. One day I was passing white flakes that hurt like hell and it would come in waves if I tried eating any sort of nuts after. It's not peanut allergies, it takes a few days or so to feel these sharp cramps then I will be doubled over the next day. It looks like my bladder had dandruff.
I read it had to do with nut oils, and citrus supposedly counteracts it, so I eat oranges like mad if I ever feel it coming back and so far I haven't dealt with it again since. I'm really not the type to go over my diet or look into health things like this, but holy hell it hurt and that seems to be the why and also the how to help.
2 lbs of peanut butter is roughly 1.7 to 2 cups of peanut butter. That's quite a bit for one week.
If that was a problematic amount half of /r/gainit would be dead by now
๐ very true! But a lot of peanut butter lovers aren't body builders, they're average people who sit at a desk all day and burn 1300 to 2300 cals a day depending on activity level, sex, and size.
