+++Hi . If the almonds were not soaked and dried before they were pureed,

they aren't fit to eat.

Soaking them properly is to remove substances that block mineral absorption in

the digestive track and that interfere with protein digestion - these substances

coat all grains, seeds and nuts, so that is why they must be properly

prepared/soaked to make them fit for human consumption.

No, it's not OK to eat since the producer of the product is not likely to have

prepared the nuts correctly. Perhaps you can make your own from scratch? All

this info about nuts is part of the main text that we all need to read in order

to make Bee's work more efficient. Nuts are also not ideal for us with candida

since they are high in carbs.

Hi Gee,

OK. got it.

I read up on their site

http://www.herve-sarl.fr/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=3 & products_id=72

and it APPEARS they do exactly what you said, no?

+++Hi . No, they are not soaking the almonds first.

Bee,

A question that I have had for awhile: Your allowed foods list says that most

nuts are ok to eat if they are soaked first. However, on another page it says

that all nuts feed candida and must be avoided. So, can we have them? Why or

why not? What is bad about almonds particularly?

Thanks! --

+++Hi . Originally nuts were not included because most are high in carbs,

they are very difficult for anyone to digest and I didn't want to get into

detailed instructions for preparing them properly, particularly to such a wide

audience. However, I changed that, and I regret it.

Adding nuts to my programs has caused more questions and problems than I

anticipated.

If almonds are truly raw and not pasteurized or irradiated they are okay, but

they are one of the hardest nuts, making them harder to digest unless you grind

them well after soaking and drying them.

If I could ask for your patience a little longer. Being able to eat nuts a bit

may be my saving grace. Before going on this diet nuts and seeds made up a lot

of my diet. I have been on the diet for two months, and lately I have been very

angry that I cannot even eat the " healthy cookies " that I used to make.

So, as to undigested nuts ... would there be physical sensations from having

undigested nuts in the digestive system? Or does the nut pieces passing through

the system feed the candida? Or does it take up space in the diet that is

better reserved for healthier calories?

What nuts are easiest to digest? What about other seeds? Are any easier to

digest than others?

And, what kind of limits should be put on squash and tomatos? Since they are

fruits, should they be once a week or 1.5 cubic inches a day ... etc? I love

the spagetti squash pumpkin pie recipe.

Thank you! --

+++Undigested nuts will show up in your stools. All carbs, including nuts, feed

candida, but it is impractical to eliminate all carbs. No, it doesn't take up

space like you said.

+++Soft nuts are easiest to digest, like pecans and walnuts. Seeds often go

through the digestive system undigested, since our bodies are not capable of

breaking down their cell walls, so it would be better to cook seeds if you have

them (only after soaking of course). Seeds act like fibre, and fibres aren't

healthy, depending upon how much you consume:

+++Consume carbs according to your ratios - see this:
