I eat a lot of nuts. They fill me up for hours.

Huh?

You can use oat flour instead of almond flour if you want to cut back a bit on nuts. I switched to oat flour and while it takes a bit of playing around with, it works pretty well now.

I make it myself - I just grind up oats!

nuts can aggravate digestive issues. i had a bout of diverticulitis that my dr thinks was precipitated by eating pistachios (salt and pepper from Trader Joe’s, so good). I watch my nut intake now and haven’t had a problem since. A great and filling snack for sure!

Op, stop eating in extremes.

They are high in calories and fat, but good fat.

I also find that sugar and wheat make me gassy so i avoid those. I don't avoid almonds. They are delicious!

Interesting, I’ve only heard of nuts causing constipation.

I do wonder about almond flour because isn’t eating a large almond flour almond butter baked good like eating dozens and dozens of almonds at once?

Nuts are good for you and contain healthy fats. Keep doing what you are doing.

No but it can cause weight gain

I've cut way down on meat/dairy and sweet treats because they don't agree with stomach. I tried whole wheat products, but they don't seem to make me feel good either. But now I find myself baking with almond flour and coconut flour, eating a lot of almond/cashew/peanut butter...

In short, I'm eating a LOT more nuts and nut products that I would have when I was eating dairy and white flour. Does anyone know if theres a problem with this - is eating nut butter and almond flour pretty much every day bad for you or hard on your digestive system?
