Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Our nutritionist has suggested trying nut products to see if my son will tolerate a low-allergen nut butter. His gut seems to be healing on an SCD diet that so far has been restricted to cooked/peeled/seeded veggies, oils and meats, including a few advanced foods like celeriac. Inflammation is gone, yeast is gone, gut flora's not quite in balance yet. His SIgA is now in normal limits but he is still hyper-allergic to all the foods he's been sensitive to in the past. His digestion isn't yet strong, his food comes out undigested but we haven't found a safe effective enzyme yet. Calories continue to be a problem on such a limited diet and we struggle to keep him from losing weight. Our best low-allergen nut options are sunflower and macadamia nut. Are these SCD legal? Pecans or almonds would be much higher risk. I need to know the SCD guidelines to eating/preparing nuts. Do they need to be soaked before grinding? She says that macadamia is so fragile & fatty that it would fall apart and lose the desirable fat content if soaked. Suggestions? Thanks, Suzanne Tom, 3.8, SCD 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
