For the past month or so, my stool has been more loose than I've experienced. It's not watery, but it's not definitely not solid like it should be. It also tends to be very gaseous. To be very blunt, the consistency is somewhat like peanut butter. \:\)
I know I don't eat enough fruits, but I do eat a lot of nuts and oatmeal. I drink plenty of water. What could be causing this? What can I do to fix it?

My experience is that eating too many nuts (at least peanuts) in a day causes loose stools, perhaps because of their high fat content.

It apparently don't take much to eat too many nuts.
I ate 2 handfuls and my stool was pretty loose a couple days ago.

You could also have a slight nut allergy as well. Until a few years ago when I had an allergy test done, I never knew I had a slight allergy to cashews and I used to eat them all the time. Look back it made sense, when I used to eat a large amount of cashews I'd get an upset stomach.

I still eat them, just in small amounts.

could be. But I recently went to the family care doctor and he ran tests on me and I came back negative of anything. Even diabetes, which I thought I might have.

Nuts just really blaze through my system. I could eat 3 handfuls today and I'll be seeing it in the toilet by tomorrow morning.
