Nuts

[Guest guest]

Nuts are not recommended in the early stages of curing your candida,

but they are a better snack to have than sugars or grains - it's like

the lesser of the evils. Nuts are too high in carbs. Almonds do not

have to be blanched prior to soaking them. They are then dried - watch

the temperature and turn them often. I find almonds and pecans burn

easily even using only the oven light for heat. Raw almond butter has

not been soaked prior to grinding them.

Thanks, Shirley!

I think that I will give pumpkin and sunflower seeds a try soon and see they go

for me, as well.

... I have read that peanuts and cashews do have a high mold content but seeds

are ok like pumpkin and sunflower.

The starch of ALL nuts turn into sugar? Is that the reason so many have trouble

with them?

Don't forget that the nuts need to be soaked to make them more digestible and non-damaging to the gut.  A simple salt water soak overnight, followed by all day or night in a warm oven will do.MaureenOn Feb 26, 2008, at 10:59 AM, samadamfamily wrote:can anyone tell me what fiber menace says about the use of nuts? i think one major flaw in the SCD diet is people try and make allot of things out of nuts (pancakes, cookies, breads etc.) trying to make up for what their missing with going grain free but then the over use of nuts can be very damaging as well, not to mention hard to digest. i know when we first started SCD i went nut over board because my gut bugs were dying and making me crave breads so i made them out of nuts. but i wasn't digesting them well enough so i was still feeding those little buggers with undigested foods.sam

Gosh Sam!!! You are so right on! This is exactly how I feel about the SCD diet. I really don't think that traditionally nuts were to be used in baked goods but rather soaked/dried but still raw and eaten as a snack. Instead of really making good use of our teeth and saliva we grind up the nuts in a processor and eat them like bread. Just doesn't seem smart to do in excess. But the frustrating part is what can someone do when they are not ready for egg yokes or dairy after their intro diet? Nuts start to really look good. So I suppose we should just be really careful how much we eat. Pecanbread says that when ground, the nuts are easier to digest, which makes sense but again we are forgetting that we do actaully have teeth. I bet if we trained ourselves to chew well and mix our food with saliva we would truly digest it better. Jordan Rubin encourages this in Maker's Diet. In answer to your question, I think Fiber Menance would encourage eating nuts in moderation, just prepared traditionally (NT).

elizabeth- its going to be hard no matter what you do, but i highly recommend

fermented

foods and drinks. the beet kvass really helped us to go to the bathroom and i

would

suggest making coconut kefir because you can't tolerate dairy. we only do a raw

egg yolk

in our smoothies and that's it. on fiber menace they also suggest eating 2 or 3

small

snack type meals then one larger meal at dinnertime this helps us too. we

usually have

fresh veggy/fruit juice in the morning maybe with a piece of fruit or just a

smoothie then i

made pecan butter with cocnut oil that's very filling for a snack i'll put some

on an apple-

peeled or mix with apple sauce then soup for lunch then dinner fish or chicken

or steak

something like that with saurkraut and a veggie. because of adding the fermented

drinks

(kombucha, beet kvass, kefir) i feel much better and not so hungry. i'm just

keeping

myself busy and snack here and there and i feel sooo much better. i was eating

eggs and

sausage for breakfast, meatballs for lunch and meat or fish for dinner with

steamed

carrots and i felt like crap not to mention i wasn't going to the bathroom and

my belly

started to get bloated and looked like i was 5 mo. pregnant.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I came up with a nut-free

pancake recipe that I like. It is carrot pulp (from juicing carrots)

and eggs. That it!

After using the pulp raw a few times decided to steam the pulp first to

make it softer and more digestible. They are not as sweet as banana

pancakes so they could be used in place of bread in some ways. They

are also denser than the banana, and have a consistency more like a

" whole grain " pancake.

As for proportions, I don't measure. Just throw the two ingredients

together and blend with a handheld blender.

SCD also has a butternut squash pancake that is good, more dense than banana pancakes, just squash, eggs and cinnamon, smells delicious.

Or for a less dense pancake try a combination of banana and squash.

Speaking of nuts, where does everyone buy their nuts? I just went to

Whole Foods yesterday, and they have organic nuts, but I could not find

organic raw nuts. In fact, I couldn't find any raw nuts at all. So I

just bought the organic ones and they were really expensive!

I haven't bought nuts in quite a while. In the early stages of NT and

WAP diet several years ago, I kinda went overboard on nuts and since

then, nuts do not sound that good really.

But in the absence of grain, I am sure nuts will be great. This past

weekend I made some pancakes with nut flour and coconut flour, and they

were delicious! I just used the store bought almond flour that wasn't

properly prepared. Now I am planning to soak them and dehydrate then

and then grind them myself. I also want to make some almond milk.

Here's my questions:

Where did all the raw almonds go? (and other raw nuts too)

Why are they so expensive?

Does it make sense to soak and dehydrate nuts that are not raw?

Thanks.

one comment- there are no more raw almonds in CA, at least, where most of them are grown.

Some law got passed where all almonds are now steamed first- yet they're sold as "raw".

This hasn't happened yet to walnuts, however.

yes, unless you buy them directly from the farm yourself. several people buy raw almonds from CA from the farms via mail order. i buy my nuts from a woman in my community who gets them raw from CA and prepares them the NT way.

Steaming is what happens to the lucky organic " raw " almonds.

Conventional ones are subjected to much worse. They can be treated

with a toxic fumigant or high-temperature heat, and still labeled as

" raw! "

There is more information about this at:

http://cornucopia.org/index.php/almonds/

Although I haven't done it, I understand it is possible to order really

raw almonds from some California growers.

What's wrong with nuts on the candida diet? I always hear conflicting

views on whether nuts are good or not, but when low carbing they are

good snack. But you think they're no good?

hospital. I've been there, done that. It scares me that we can have

this kind of pain and these so called medical professionals say that

they can't find anything and that we're fine. Sounds like a digestive

problem. I don't know if it's gallbladder or not, but a Gastro doctor

could do a gallbladder ultrasound to check for stones. Also, you

should stop eating the nuts, ice cream, gravy, and chocolate chips and

follow the Candida diet.

Greg, FWIW, I believe the nuts warning arises only from concerns of

fungal traces in the nuts, not from the nuts themselves. Nuts are high

in oils that kill unwanted bacteria and probably candida. I think they

are good for you.

Isn't it true that it can be problematic if you have gallbladder issues?

, the gallbladder squeezes in response mainly to fat itake, so

high-fat foods including large helpings of nuts might be a problem if

one has not done the liver flushes. On this list we suggest the liver

flushes right off the bat though.

I think someone asked this questions before, but I can't seem to find it. I'm

sorry if I'm repeating. What is the best place to find raw organic almonds and

other nuts? And I don't mean FDA definition raw, but truly untreated,

unfumigated, unprocessed fresh almonds and other nuts. Here in TX we have plenty

of pecans and that's about it.

Thanks,

Elena

WAPF is working on that but for now you have to mail in a form. You might be

able to call them and give a credit card over the phone for the shopping guide.

I am able to purchase raw almonds at my local farmer's market. In the case of

almonds, all resold almonds must be pasteurized, but if you buy from the farmer

that is not the case.

You may want to try looking inquiring at different farmers' markets or looking

for websites for farms that sell directly.
