Brief Answer:
Probably the symptoms are related to excessive almond consumption.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to almond consumption.

If you consume a lot of almonds, it can cause constipation and bloating.

This is because there is a lot of fiber in almonds.

I agree with your decision to slow down on eating almonds and peanut butter.

In case of abdominal pain you can use Buscopan 10 mg three tablets a day.

I also recommend to use antacids such as Maalox three tablets a day.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
