So I’ve been wondering this but when I eat peanut butter lots of the times it causes my upper roof of my mouth near my teeth to feel really raw, almost like it’s bleeding. Though it’s not and I was wondering what this could be?

I thought this happened to everyone when they ate bananas, walnuts, avocados and strawberries, like it was part of the flavor profile; sweet, salty, spicy, stingy... turns out it's oral allergies.

Seems like something possible though for sure I’m gonna do more research. Thank you!

How do you eat peanut butter? On toast? On a fork?

Does it happen with other pb items like reeses cups, or just with pb from a jar?

Not from Reece cups but otherwise yes from the jar.

Any other signs or symptoms? I wonder if it could be a food sensitivity. Like your not exactly allergic but still having a mild reaction.

No otherwise peanut butter is something that stabilizes my stomach.
