I sure do miss nut butters and nuts.

I'm sure I already know the answer but whats the verdict on sacha seeds?

I know if not soaked the phytic acid and enzyme coating that protects raw nuts and seeds from being digested are going to stop absorbtion. I'm already getting through low iron, ferrant and hemoglobin issue.

So I'm gonna take it as a NO in buying roasted sacha seeds? right?

And the question is the omega ratio. Its the only seed that is high in omega 3, which we want to help fight inflammation but its still a seed.

question is, yes or no for sacha seed and UC, I stay away anything that causes inflammation or try to.

thanks!

Thanks and I understand where your coming from.

I guess I'm looking into the phytic acid issue of not absorbing minerals. Ive looked everywhere and cant find how much phytic acid is in sacha seeds. I agree I can try to see if they bloat me, go through me, and etc. I want to get ahead of fixing my low mineral level in certain minerals before next blood test in june.

I guess best way is just don't eat them and not worry about it effecting absorbing minerals. But man I miss nuts !

find these charts but having trouble finding sacha nuts

There's no singular food that's a no no for everyone with ulcerative colitis. As food responses vary quite wildly person to person. I have no food intolerances.

I'd say forget what google says and let your gut decide! There's no rationalizing your way outta UC, rather it's all a trial and error, your response will vary sorta thing. Lots of ideas make a lot of logical sense but provide zero benefit. UC is some sorta of enigma of the time-space variety or something lol.

Ill keep searching. I'm not looking to see how the gut responds I'm trying to find out the phytic acid amount to see how high or low the amount is compared to other nuts. I can tolerate almonds but I don't eat them because omega 3-6 ratio is not good for inflammation and they are high in phytic.

I can try the sacha seeds but trial and error wont be quick like stomach bloat or pain for the minerals being absorbed. The gut reaction wont tell me that until blood work. So Id figure get a head of it and either find the phytic amount first. But I cant find the amount so I came here to see if anyone knew.

thanks for the advice but try it and see how the gut reacts wont help in this situation for amount of minerals being blocked from absorbing.

Ill just stay away from them for now
