Sunflower seeds

for some - and apparently for you - not for me -

something that happens once is not always related. It is possible you do not tolerate sunflower seeds but it is also possible it was totally unrelated. You would need to wait a few days and try it again - if it is same result, then maybe. UC can give you various symptoms at various times for various reasons, in my opinion it is not as simple as a=b.

Are sunflower seeds the only thing you ate that day? so many things can affect soft, loose stools, hydration, combination of foods, lack of sleep, stress, nerves, inflammation, meds (prescription and over the counter) .

Unless you try it several times (eat sunflower seeds) and get the same result each and every time.. then you can't really say it is the cause in my opinion.

I'm not just saying this cause I like and eat sunflower seeds myself - I'd give the same argument for any food, action, medication that one would feels has a direct cause and effect.

Are you sure its only Sunflower seeds? What else did you eat in last 48 hours?

I do not have any issues with tree nuts. Actually, my morning breakfast is home made granola which is loaded with all kind of tree nuts (including sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds).

Thanks for the advice. I am going to try ground sunflower seeds again because it's delicious in my smoothie and supposedly has antiinflammatory properties. I thought it was maybe broccoli, but broccoli has worked out fine in my smoothies repeatedly.

this is great advice. I've been gone a week, sorry I haven't responded.

"I didn't realize sunflowers and pumpins grew on trees... "

and what exactly is a pumpin ?

i know when i go to the gym sometimes i say i'm going pumpin !

ya, i agree, grind em up or buy sunbutter - my fav is from maranatha - just seeds and salt -

I love them but have been avoiding them as well as other seeds and corn
