Can you get constipated from eating too much peanut butter?

Peanut Butter in moderation should not cause constipation, however the high content of fat and fiber can slow digestion and cause constipation in some people because it can form a paste like substance in the digestive tract. Additionally, if consumed in large quantities, peanut butter can have a drying effect on the intestines and further contribute to constipation. The body must be well hydrated and have enough fiber in its diet for efficient transit in order to avoid constipation. To avoid constipation it's important to include plenty of fluids and fiber in the diet, and to consume peanut butter in moderation.
