I had my second 24 hr pH test and noticed something interesting. I ate peanut butter and was burping for hours afterwards and the pH reading on the machine was below 4. Later in the day, I ate some tomato sauce and no problems. Any one else notice problems with peanut butter?

Peanut butter is on my own list as an irritating food, and my chart that I have from the health food store as a "highly acid forming food".

Almond butter is an excellent alternative---not only is it alkaline forming, it is sooo good for you. Almonds were cited as one of the TOP TEN FOODS TO EAT in 2007!
