Elisa,

 

Food is very individual; what might be a slow transit food for one, is a speedy one for others.  Try new foods in small amounts and see how you do.  I kept a food log, it was very helpful in the first 6 weeks of my reversal.

I would think any nut butter would be the same as peanut butter. I do agree with Sue about individual reactions to different foods. Low residue is best and potato chips help as well. Wouldn't be to concerned with healthy at this point.

I eat peanut, almond and cashew butters, but only the natural and unsweetened varieties.  I have not had any problems with any of them.  I also drink cashew milk, which I favor over almond, rice, soy, coconut, cow and goat milks, primarily due to taste.  It amazes me that a 25 calorie, 8 ounce glass of cashew milk can taste that good and be that creamy for only 25 calories.  It kicks ass on all other milks, in my opinion.

 

For me the nut butters all are natural thickeners but as has been stated above, individual response varies to each product.

As far as other thickeners, right after takedown I ate applesauce, and bananas (initially natural baby food bananas and then the real bananas), as well as peanut butter on crackers. Mashed potatoes are also on that list of thickeners they gave me.

 

 

I honestly didn't need thickeners for long, but pretzels and bananas were my go-tos.
