Re:almond flour from Trader Joe's

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I got some almond flour from Trader Joe's, which has the skin of

almonds mixed in as well. Is this okay 9 months into the diet?

Because of the holiday mail delay, I thought it would be an

acceptable alternative to ordering it from Lucy's.

Thanks,

Lili

Lili,

I think the answer is there's no way to tell until you try it! For

a lot of people on SCD, I think, almond skins should be OK at nine

months. That's of course no guarantee that your child would be OK.

Things to consider: how has person done on raw almond flour? Ever

had nut butter with skins ground in? Has person had other nuts with

skins? Has person had other higher=fiber foods, and how did he/she

react? (like raw veggies, or raw nuts, or raw fruits, for instance

I would think these would be more difficult to digest than ground up

almond skins).

SCD 2.5 months, but been reading lists for a year!
