My wife has near constant heartburn, and especially after eating oily and greasy foods.
The problem may be you have Acid-reflux disease:
See your internist.
Just about everything gives me acid reflux. Prilosec keeps it all down.
Esophageal cancer can happen with constant acid reflux. See a doctor.
Rancid nuts should taste rancid (kind of sour). If the PB is loaded with sugar, that might mask the bad taste.
Try a tablespoon of baking soda. You have to drink it with water.
I agree with the others, I don’t think rancid food was the problem. Probably an allergic reaction to something.
My doctor told me not eat peanuts/peanut butter, since it can contain mold. I can’t say I’ve completely eliminated them.
Sometimes blogs make me sick like that.
Have you considered food allergies?
Eat nothing and drink only water for at least 2 hours before you go to bed.
To me it sounds more to do with WHEN you eat than WHAT you’re eating.
I occasionally have the same issue (waking up in the middle of the night ready to vomit, mucous flowing from my face-holes) when I don’t follow the advice above.
Also, seeing your doctor is probably a good thing too. Anonymous strangers even on this board can often mis-state or misunderstand things.
You should consult your doctor, may be more than just a matter of eating food that has gone bad.
Peanut butter is so dry bacteria can’t survive in it. Even rancid peanut butter won’t hurt you, it will just taste bad.
Are you under doctors care?
See your Dr. In the mean time, try a time released omeprazole. (Prilosec) They work wonders on acid reflux. Was on one a day, and now one every other day.
Rancid oils and oily food like peanut butter should just taste bad but react no differently. The oils in the foods, and even the bottle kinds gets oxidized and is termed rancid, because of the taste.

Nexium or Prilosec will keep you from overproducing acid, but as was said above you need to refrain from eating anything for at least 2 hours before laying down.
I had acid reflux for many years, same type symptoms as you describe. Recent trip to the doctor revealed a hiatal hernia. (Part of the stomach is above the diaphragm, allowing acid to pass up the esophagus easily.)
Peanuts are grown below ground. It is usually mildew that causes people to have allergic reaction.
I’m 66 and feel great. I’ve not been on prescription drugs since - well, as far back as I can remember.
My back is a bit sore still from falling backwwards down a flight of stairs three weeks ago, but I can haul wood and shovel dirt.
I also rarely eat processed food and try to stay moderately in shape.
Apparently I’m even more blessed than I realize. And yes, I really do give God the glory for it. In fact, my wife has two miraculous healings from prayer.
