Sunflower Seeds

Not had sunflower seeds in the last year since they started giving me issues over a year ago. I tried them again this morning, I made a cheese sauce with them blending them with water, nutritional yeast, hint of garlic and onion powered, apple cider vinegar. then used my standard thickening regime for cheese sauces of konjac and psyllium husk. IT TASTED wonderful the flavor of the seeds gave it a new take on a cheese sauce different but I like it. Then about 20mins later I am in the bathroom, first I threw up all the cheese sauce which floated.....yeah that why seems I am intolerant and can not break them down just like a meat, cellulose fiber, and a few other foods that float and do not break down in my stomach. Wondering why I have no issues with other seeds or nuts -_- and sunflower seeds are supposed to be hypoallergenic....but then again they are really oily and oily fatty meats do this exact same thing.....ugg sometimes I hate my body and wish it was normal lol. >.> Side note who wants 4 cups of sun cheese lol.

Hi, Ennis.  Sorry the sunflower seeds made you sick.  I can't tolerate them either.  I think you're right that they may be too oily for some of us, though I wonder about the combination with psyllium husks.... the psyllium husks would want to absorb water and the sunflower seeds would want to repel water since they are oily.... just wondering if that combination had something to do with your bad experience.  

Do you have a recommendation for a calcium supplement?  I don't do dairy.  I agree with your views.   Dairy is just gross.  It does horrible things to my body and brain.  I thought maybe you would have the scoop on a good calcium supplement.  

I hope you feel better!

Yeah I found another product with defatted sunflower seed protein and no issues, Found sunflower oil in the grocery store.....sicker then a dog and vomiting and I only use a bit to stir fry with. I am 100% sure it has something to do with the oil/fats in it. But at least I was able to find some pure forms to test with. Does seem to float separate from my stomach acid being thrown up first and  I feel much better after that floating oily stuff is in the toilet  the urge to pukes goes away after just the first bout of that.

Calcium I get a ton of it from the nut milks I drink, they are fortified with more calcium then milk, I use them to make nut cheeses, non dairy ice cream, etc. Probably drink a few cups a day of the stuff. My preferred brand is a local organic one, oddly the non organic from the same company causes issues...I think it might have to do with it using xantham gum.

I use extra virgin olive oil.  It's got lots of omega 3 fatty acids.  Sunflower seed oil has more omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids.  The brain likes omega 3's and the body can make omega 6 and 9 out of omega 3 like snapping legos together.  

I tried almond milk a while back and it didn't agree with me.  It was during one of those "find the funky food" searches when I had symptoms and didn't know the source of the problem. It might be time to try it again.  I worry about getting enough calcium since I don't do dairy.

I normally stir fry with almond, avocado, or coconut oil (found a wonderful dairy free butter flavored one that is godly to cook with from nutiva), most nut milks do have added calcium, I sometimes make a jam with calcium water, universal pectic, sugar free sweetener (swirve) and a extract....OHH yeah Natural Vitality that magnesium company makes a version with calcium in it.

I am allergic to olives...like in the standard way amusingly, I just get sniffles, running nose, red eyes and coughing, now if I eat a decent amount of it like at tsp it can make me throw up. I generally just avoid them when I can. >.> made me decent at making my own sauces lol.

Allergic to olives?!? Oh, that's too bad.  I can't eat olives because they add Sulfites in the brining process, but the oil is okay.  

I'm leary of anything with processed coconut meat because sulfites are added to keep it white. So I am highly suspicious of coconut oil and coconut milk, too.  

Thanks for the tip on Natural Vitality. I'll check into it. ?

      @Charlie1946, Sorry I sidetracked your thread a bit. Apologies. Proton pump inhibitors, like Omeprazole, change the pH in our gastrointestinal systems which allows opportunistic microbes to move in and take over. Have you been checked for SIBO? There's a significant link between length of Omeprazole use and SIBO. I had SIBO, thrush (Candida...

      @knitty kitty Thank you so much for all that information! I will be sure to check it out and ask my doctor. I am just at a loss, I am on my 2nd round of miracle mouthwash and I brush and scrape my tongue and (sorry this is gross) it's still coated in the middle

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods re...

      @Charlie1946,  Sorry I sidetracked your thread a bit.  Apologies. Proton pump inhibitors, like Omeprazole, change the pH in our gastrointestinal systems which allows opportunistic microbes to move in and take over.  Have you been checked for SIBO?  There's a significant link between length of Omeprazole use and SIBO.  I had SIBO, thrush (Candida) and lichen planus and other problems while I was on Omeprazole.  I had to stop taking it.  It was a horrible time, so I understand how painful and frustrating it is.   You change your microbiome (the bacteria and microbes living inside you) by changing what you eat.  They eat what you eat.  Change the menu and you get different customers.   I changed my diet.  I cut out dairy because I was reacting to the casein and lactose.  I cut out all processed foods and most carbohydrates. I ate meat and veggies mostly, some fruit like apples and mandarin oranges.  By cutting out all the excess carbohydrates, lactose, and empty carbs in processed gluten-free foods, the opportunistic microbes get starved out.  SIBO bacteria send chemical messages to our brains demanding more carbs, so be prepared for carb cravings, but don't let the microbiome control you!   The skin and digestive system is continuous.  The health of our outside skin reflects the health of our gastrointestinal system.  Essential B vitamins, like Thiamine B 1 and especially Niacin B 3, are needed to repair intestinal damage and keep bad bacteria in check.  Niacin helps improve not only the intestinal tract, but also the skin.  Sebaceous Hyperplasia is linked to being low in Niacin B 3.  Lichen Planus is treated with Niacinamide, a form of Niacin B 3.   Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make.  We must get them from our food.  If our food isn't digested well (low stomach acid from Omeprazole causes poor digestion), then vitamins aren't released well.  Plus there's a layer of SIBO bacteria absorbing our vitamins first between the food we've eaten and our inflamed and damaged villi that may have difficulty absorbing the vitamins.  So, taking vitamin supplements is a way to boost absorption of essential nutrients that will allow the body to fight off the microbes, repair and heal.   Doctors are taught in medical learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical companies.  The importance of nutrition is downplayed and called old fashioned.  Doctors are taught we have plenty to eat, so no one gets nutritional deficiency diseases anymore.  But we do, as people with Celiac disease, with impaired absorption.  Nutritional needs need to be addressed first with us.  Vitamins cannot be patented because they are natural substances.  But pharmaceutical drugs can be.  There's more money to be made selling pharmaceutical drugs than vitamins.   Makes me wonder how much illness could be prevented if people were screened for Celiac disease much earlier in life, instead of after they've been ill and medicated for years.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.   Interesting Reading: The Duration of Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy and the Risk of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12250812/#:~:text=The long-term use of,overgrowth dynamics is less clear.

Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.

      Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to build kitchen skills, eat more whole foods, and actually enjoy the process. Your point that the basics—knife skills, food safety, and experimenting with spices—are all you really need is solid, helpful advice. It’s a good reminder that the diagnosis, while a pain, doesn’t have to stop you from eating well or having fun with food.
