Xmas Nuts...then Diarreah

[Guest marshlakemom]

Hi All

The day after I eat Christmas nuts (the ones you have to crack yourself) I get bad diarreah. Anybody else have this problem.

I'm also wondering about an intolerance to corn, potatoes and white rice. Can we have the same reaction to them...just trying to wean out some foods.

Thanks

I have had problems with seeds and nuts and popcorn early on in the healing process and particularly when my system is sensitive after I've had dairy.

I don't know about the nuts. But my reaction to corn, potatoes and rice is very close to being the same as my reaction to gluten. So yes, it is possible.

The way to test for those is to take them all out for two weeks, and then reintroduce them one at a time, five days apart (in case of delayed reactions, which I always get).

I think she means brazil nuts, hazel nuts, almonds, walnuts, etc in their shells so you crack them yourself. They're often in bulk bins in grocery stores around Christmas time, but they are in a shell so no worries about CC.
