Hello, Peanuts, like many other nuts, are quite high in lipids (fat) and require some time to be digested and absorbed. In this sense, eating a large amount quickly, which fills the stomach quickly, it is possible to cause nausea or gagging. It also depends on what other foods the peanuts were taken with. For example, in a dessert or in the form of peanut butter, it puts extra work on the body to break down all that extra fat. As for diarrhea, this is also possible depending on the context. Peanuts contain minerals such as magnesium which, in large quantities, can cause this symptom
