All natural peanut butter

Hello,

I'm a lurker, UC haver. I'm in my 2nd mild flare since being diagnosed (proctitis evolved to UC), about 5 months in. Trying to eliminate some variables, peanut butter being one.

I've been eating a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast ever since I can remember (and sometimes as a snack between meals). I've changed every part of my diet besides breakfast, thinking that white bread and creamy peanut butter was safe. My latest target is sodium. I was looking into all natural peanut butters. I bought a jar of Smuckers natural creamy, but when I opened it up, it's not creamy! It's got a bunch of tiny chunks of peanuts in it.

I then bought Whole foods 365 all natural. Same thing! Little tiny chunks of peanuts.

I also bought a few other "natural" ones, and they are indeed creamy but they also have palm oil, which is probably fine, but I'd like to try just straight peanuts peanut butter. This makes me then assume that you can't get that real creamy texture without some sort of oil added.

Anyone tried these while in flair? I'm worried these little pebbles of peanut chunks will tear up my intestines. I feel like I'm close to getting out of this flare and don't want to take two steps back.
