Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 This is a question for those of you who understand the science of SCD more than me! I use almond butter a LOT, and have no problem with it. I use almond FLOUR, really only for two things: muffins, and pizza crust. The muffins have never given me a problem (other ingredients: eggs, honey, baking soda, salt). The pizza crust definitely affects me. The pizza crust is just almond flour with one egg. Of course the pizza has tomato sauce and cheese on it. But I'm sure its the crust that causes me problems. I eat the exact same tomato sauce on spaghetti squash with no bad results. I eat the same cheese all the time with all foods imaginable and no bad results. Also, I've made JUST pizza crust and eaten it, and get the bad results. The bad results by the way are excess gas, harder stool, and blood in stool. So my question is, why would the exact same ingredients in one food (almond flour and egg in pizza crust) affect me badly, when they, in another food (muffins) have no affect at all? Does the baking soda in muffins counteract the almond flour? Or the fact that there are more ingredients in the muffins somehow make the almond flour less concentrated, and therefore easier to digest? Just wondering... At the moment I'm keeping my pizza intake to one piece a day (when I make pizza which is not every week), and hoping I survive, because I really love it. Thanks!
