    I eat about a large jar a week of peanut butter...so I should probably live forever!

    If I could,i could eat a large jar a day,but my system could not handle that!

    But peanuts DO NOT LOVE ME!  Everytime I eat them I get terrible bouts of gas with lower back pain that lasts for days!  It's terrible.  I have tried every type of peanut--redskins, spanish peanuts, yellow peanuts, salted peanuts in the shell (my favorite), unsalted peanuts in the shell--all of these give me terrible gas and back pain!  The only nuts I can sometimes eat are pecans, pistachios (in moderation), and almonds (slight gas).  So, I really love peanuts, but they don't love me!
