Interesting.  I've found that peanut butter acts as a mild laxative,
at least for me.  This is a Good Thing - I love peanut butter.

Oh gawd. I hope it works out. I hate to say it, but IME around 50% of

 How so? Infection?
 

Mainly as I understand it, yes.

I've had two hip replacements and have 3 plates holding up my neck.
 

Hips are far more successful, >95% no problems at all

I had one cervical plate put in years ago, and play soccer, often as
goalkeeper. The hits to the head apparently lead to removal of the first plate
and the installation of 3.
 

Again, not problematic.
