Re: Re: Nut butters -- was Peanut Butter Question

[Guest guest]

Nut

butters can be a problem for some, but most people do better with nut butters

(tree nuts) than peanut butter. There is some experimenting required to

figure out how much is too much nut butter for your digestion, and it can vary

the longer you’re on SCD.

Nut

butters trigger severe, and I mean severe, nausea for me, followed by all of my

other chronic Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction related symptoms, and my digestion takes

a week to return to normal. The symptoms are bad enough, but then I worry

about doing enough damage to my Sphincter of Oddi that it won’t recover

and I have to go back in for another sphincterotomy and/or stent. So, I

don’t eat nut butter, and limit how much peanut butter I eat.

The

skins on peanuts do cause some reactions, so I work at removing the skins

before I process the peanuts. I assume the same thing can occur with nut

butters.

A

lot of foods trigger nausea for me [sigh], as do most of my neurological and

spinal issues. Just the way things go. I don’t miss nut

butter, as I can handle one nut flour muffin or piece of bread per day most of

the time. So I feel I’m getting a treat. [grin]

The

TJ's raw almond butter (skins on) I *was* eating made me nauseous, too! If I

ate more than a few tsps at a time, that is. Is that a common reaction among

SCDers with nut butters? Interesting!
