Re: almond/pecan butter was: string beans

[Guest guest]

have you tried pecan butter rather than almond???For a while I made pecan honey squares with homemade pecan butter. Then I noticed a bunch of tiny black specks in my D (eww I know) and thought it was bits of pecan that hadn't been digested. But I stopped the squares a couple weeks back and the black specks are still there...dunno what it is.I buy my almond butter (365 brand) so it's nice to just have it and not have to make it, and I would have to make the pecan butter. If I did end up doing this, how long would it last in the fridge?

oh mine lasts forever - just like the jars do - months I believe

- there are black specks in ground pecans - that's all it was - lol - i hear you

though, I wonder if my white specks are yeast or because i eat zuc seeds now -

lol - who would have thought we'd inspect bm's??!! LOL

Hi Alyssa..

I just got this too! Looked like black sesame seeds.

I do not eat anything that would look like this!

You ever have your stool checked for parasites?

Integrative lab is the way to go like Genova.

You ever have your stool checked for parasites?Ugh. That's what they checked AND treated me for when I first had a UC flare (undiagnosed) in april 08. They put me on flagyl, and those were arguably the worst 10 days of my life. I think for now I'll just live in denial.

Alyssa..

Flagyl makes me feel like crap too.. such a bummer.

I was on it so many times over the past years ughh..

Still if you think there may be parasites or bad microbes you gotta get stool

checked.. best to go with an integrative lab and get a rectal swab.

Total bummer.

So many microbes have become resistant to antibiotics and Flagyl it scares me.

BTW, this happens to many IBD'ers that they get dx'd with some critter before

the actual IBD dx. It's interesting to say the least..

And don't all people with gut issues have bad microbes? Or is that just bad bacteria? Anyways, I thought of what else it might be. Banana seeds. They are tiny and black, and I eat them usually every day, so that could explain it..

Depends.. some people live with some pretty crazy critters for years!

Microbes means everything.

I don't know your situation and I am not in your body.. But if you see you are

not getting better and tolerance isn't adjusting this is totally an avenue to

look into.

The almond butter has specks in it too, from the skins. Maybe that's what it is?
