Guest guest Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hello My daughter age 13 is having trouble with cashew flour, almond flour so I have done what you all suggested I am making pecan butter. This is going well. We made Nut Butter brownies they are wonderful. I am now wondering about all the recipes that call for almond flour.... how do I use the pecan butter in these recipes. For example if we make the pineapple upside down cake in Raman's book how do we calculate the amount for the almond flour. It seems every recipe is wanting almond flour and my daughter can not eat it. Thanks for all the ideas and advice. is doing well but really needs some new foods to try.

It seems every recipe is wanting almond flour and my daughter can not eat it. Substitute the same amount of pecan butter for the almond flour. When Elaine was doing the diet for her daughter, she used pecans and pecan flour. Later, as BTVC began to be better known, almond flour was less expensive and more available, so the use of almond flour became more common. (Plus, it makes baked goods which look more like wheat flour baked goods, whereas with pecan flour, it looks like whole grain.) — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 You can purchase pecan flour. I had used some last year before realizing nuts were killing my progress and it seemed to work the same as almond flour. My local health food store actually had it. http://www.digestivewellness.com/itempage-1029-24-11-1565.html or http://tinyurl.com/8lpdbq Misty Kimble CD - no meds SCD - 1 year > > Hello > My daughter age 13 is having trouble with cashew flour, almond flour so > I have done what you all suggested I am making pecan butter.

" I have diverticulitis and the dr's have told me not to eat nuts and seeds, so I was wondering if this pecan flour would actually affect me also. It's been almost a week since I started the diet and I feel sooo much better just leaving grains alone. I was a BIG cereal eater. My favorite was Kashi Cinnamon Harvest. At least one bowl a day maybe two. (bad mistake!) A also ate 1 to 4 pieces of bread per day along with crackers, etc. Tonya Diverticulitis 12/7/08 SCD 1/13/09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Of course, then they tell you to eat lots of bran and whole grains and never consider what THAT will do...) Nut butters and nut flours are finely ground, nut butters more so than nut flours, and are much easier to digest, besides lacking small pieces that can get caught in the diverticuli. Some people find that they do not do well with nuts at the beginning of the diet. There is a tendency for anyone who has been a starch-o-holic to try to substitute nut flour goodies and breads for all the starch based stuff they used to eat, and to eat far too much of them for their systems to handle. I didn't do nut flour stuff for a number of months when I started. In fact, I ended up limited to roast beef, roast pork, steamed zucchini (first with butter, then with grated cheese) and soft boiled eggs. And, after a while, SCD yogurt, 'cause I was well enough to make it. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
