Re: almond flour or coconut flour?

[Guest guest]

Liz, in the first few weeks both are tough on most people. Coconut flour is especially fibrous and considered advanced. From what I have heard pecan flour is the easiest to digest of all the flours but most people do nut butters first, since they are more digestible than flour. This early in the diet it seems that most people can't do nut butters or flours. Pecanbread.com is a good place to go for some guidelines on what tends to be easier to digest and how to do the intro and so on. It is a site intended for children with autism who are on SCD but the parents who have put it together have years of experience with SCD and lots of wisdom to share.

Good luck!

I'm trying to plan ahead to do some baking and I'm wondering which would be better for my son. He just started this week on SCD (he was diagnosed with UC on July 31st)and we won't be baking much right now, but I need to do some shopping ahead, planning and ordering stuff online.Is coconut flour or almond flour easier to digest? I'm finding great recipes for both, and will probably use both down the line, but it would be nice to know others' experiences with them. Thanks!Liz

Thanks. I'm not planning to bake right now - just trying to get organized and

shop ahead, since I'm a teacher and I go back to work next week. I want to have

everything ready for when I do start baking. I'll go for pecan flour first and

then almond flour and hold off on the coconut flour.

Do people order the flour from somewhere online or grind pecans themselves?

Thanks,

Either way. I order my pecan flour from Digestive Wellness. I know you can buy pecans and pulverize them into flour but with three sons and my husband to keep supplied with muffins, pancakes and chicken fingers I would be making flour all day and frankly, I cook all the time already!! When you order the almond flour you want blanched super fine. I get mine in 25 lb. boxes from Honeyville - best price I could find - and store the excess in the freezer in ziploc freezer bags.

Liz, most people think that pecan flour is the easiest nut flour. All the nut flour/butters can be interchanged in recipies. Nut butters are easier to digest then the flours. Katy

Is coconut flour or almond flour easier to digest? I'm finding great recipes for both, and will probably use both down the line, but it would be nice to know others' experiences with them.

Terry,

I use organic free range chicken breast from Trader Joe's, first of all. I slice them to finger width, approximately and then let them soak in beaten egg. I mix salt, pepper and herbs (we really like oregano on EVERYTHING ) into the almond flour (I have used pecan flour but it burned easier and was very expensive and tasted about the same) and dredge the chicken pieces and then laid them out on a platter to rest while the oil heats up. I cover the bottom of a large skillet with olive or safflower oil and then fry them on each side then put them on paper towels to drain. My husband grumbles less about SCD when I make these, especially if we put some hot sauce in his homemade ketchup...lol. They are pretty yummy. I use LOTS of herbs, salt and pepper, btw, or the flavor doesn't come through once it is fried. I have baked them too but the

coating doesn't crisp up as nicely, even when I put some oil on the pan and turn them. It doesn't work as well and my kids seem to tolerate pan frying very well. We also have a fried chicken patty that is yummy. It is just cooked chicken (any kind, white or dark), cooked peas or green beans, garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice whirred in a food processor until you form a ball with it. Take the ball and make a patty and fry them in olive oil on both sides, sprinkle with a little more salt to taste and delicious!! My kids gobble them up. When I make them I don't even make a vegetable since they are full of vegetables so my kids feel like it is a special thing to eat a whole meal with no veggies in sight!! We call them kabobs because they remind us of the meat kabobs that DH's Pakistani family make. Same size, shape and cooking method. Not as spicy though...

Had to chime in here with my experience:

Everyone always said that nut flours were easier than coconut flour and to stay

far away from coconut products in early SCD. Well I never did well on the nut

flours, tried almond (blanched), pecan, hazelnut, tried soaking them first

(helped a bit) tried butters, I always had problems eating baked goods made from

them. Finally I just decided to give coconut flour a try and strangely enough I

can tolerate it really well. I can eat 2, 3 muffins a day with coconut flour. So

I would say try the nut flours first but if they don't work out, it's worth it

to try coconut flour. For me, nuts are way more advanced food than coconut.

> I'm trying to plan ahead to do some baking and I'm wondering which would be

better for my son. He just started this week on SCD (he was diagnosed with UC on

July 31st)and we won't be baking much right now, but I need to do some shopping

ahead, planning and ordering stuff online.

> Is coconut flour or almond flour easier to digest? I'm finding great recipes

for both, and will probably use both down the line, but it would be nice to know

others' experiences with them.
