Some people do have a very quick response to SCD, but it's still

generally a wise idea to move slowly -- like sticking with cooked

vegetables, and so forth.

You can substitute pecan or blanched almond butter one for one in any

recipe calling for nut flour. The nut butters are generally easier to

digest than the nut flours. Note: peanut butter may be more advanced, as

peanut are not true nuts, but legumes. Same is true of cashews.

Congratulations on feeling better quickly!

Hi - I am happy to hear you are improving. Yes, go slow!! I have been on

SCD since April and I am very cautious about nut flours. I have tried them but

in very small quantities and not every day. It is great to hear you are better.
