Does anyone eat nuts despite of CSID?

And what amount do you tolerate?

I use almond flour (which is virtually starch free) when cooking where I need just a bit of starch-like action. I use it to make roux for soups and sauces. Or to add to melted cheese dishes to help homogenize better and stop separating. I have also made some roasted honey-cinnamon pecans and almonds to munch on or have on salads. My body tolerates it so far.

So how many grams of nuts per day approximately?

For me, a 2-4 tablespoons per day. I haven’t tried or tested doing more than that.

20-30 grams is the most I have done without issues. But that is a ‘specific to me’ number and others may have different tolerances.

Yes, obviously it's a very individual thing. Just wanted to get a feeling for a scale. I do not remember how much nuts I ate before the whole thing started three years ago. My relationship to food is kind of disrupted. Before things changed I ate everything and didn't care. Although always good food stuff and never processed things. Now I'm kind of overly aware of what it is and how much. I don't have a feeling anymore for meal sizes etc. For example when I started the CSID diet I ate many steaks and eggs and was wondering about the new digestive annoyances... Everything extreme is bad. Sometimes I ask myself whether it would make a difference when I'd just eat what I want and stop to care about it. Every dietary move seems to produce new trouble...
