That doesn't seem like a lot. I've certainly gone extended periods eating more than 150g (~5.3 ounces) of nuts per day. I thought nuts were a healthy snack, and often my only breakfast is a bunch of cashews or almonds.

The woman in the article already had

chronic kidney disease stage 3bA1 of unknown aetiology

before her nut diet, so maybe she was more vulnerable than a healthy person?

I noticed significant improvement in my bowel health after stopping eating nuts. They were my go to healthy snack but I don't really eat tree nuts at all anymore. You're only supposed to have like 2 or 3 of them at time anyway, and that's pretty much impossible to satisfy a craving. Peanuts however have nothing to do with tree nuts. They are legumes. I still eat peanut butter and eat about a pound a week.
