Re: almond butter and flour OR coconut?

[Guest guest]

Although nut a nut, how does coconut flour fit into scd? I just made some bread

because I wanted something to snack on other thAn pureed veggies and chicken. I

was trying to branch out a bit. Would you consider that somewhat beginner or

more advanced? (I suffer from cronic C)

Almond butter is easier to digest (for most people) than almond flour, which is

easier to digest than whole almonds. Same with the other nuts and peanuts.

I'm one of the oddballs who found that peanut butter was tolerated early in SCD

but nut butters were not and continue to be a major issue. I can handle nut

flours IF I stick to pecan, walnut and almond flours, and use a mixture so that

there is never more than 50% almond flour. And limit myself to one nut flour

item per day.

So, some trial and error is involved, as with all things.

butter muffins for him, and he likes it a lot. But I have a little question: why

can almond butter be used in the earlier stages of SCD, but almond flour cannot

be used. They are both made from almonds and both ground very finely, so what is

the difference.

And it requires MUCH more liquid when baking. That needs to be kept in mind. If you don't add enough liguid not only will your muffins, bread or whatever taste dry, but they're fall apart.n-- ______________________________A funny, touching gift book for cat lovers.
