Re: Reminder on Soaking Nuts

[Guest guest]

I think now I know the origin of when I started to feel crappy!

Like 9 days ago, I made my first batch of nut milk and I soaked the

nuts overnight and I didn't dry them at all! Just rinsed and threw it

in the blender. That gave me a heavy/gassy feeling and totally put my

right upper side pain on fire! So, I thought maybe almonds aren't my

thing and I should try Macadamia nuts. I did the same thing and I

didn't dry it at all just rinsed and threw in the blender. Yesterday,

I had a horrible day and today was bad and I was only able to drink

broth that my husband made me. I am only now feeling a little better.

Thankfully this episode isn't as bad as it was a month ago.

There are so many ins and outs to this diet that I fear my ignorance

just harms me and impedes on my healing process. It's so depressing.

I make so many mistakes it's ridiculous!
