Do hemp and flax seeds bother you???

Hello again :)

I am currently on a modified SCD diet (no gluten, no dairy, limited sugar, no fried, etc) but have not cut out rice and seeds. I still eat rice, flax seeds, hemp seeds mostly.
Do you have any issues with these foods?

I am currently in a small flare and do not want to aggravate things even more obviously.. For some reason I cannot update my signature to reflect this (when I try to click and edit, half of it gets erased LOL)

Any feedback is much appreciated as always
Have a great weekend

I find flax to be too abrasive so I use chia seed instead. It gels up nicely and is smooth. I grind it in a coffee grinder and add it to my morning yogurt.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Interesting!

I just saw a nutritionist and was told to add flax seed to my diet for soluable fiber. I've been using flax seed since 2005 on my cereal.  I was told to grind it up.  Haven't noticed any problems but I guess it's only when you're in a flare?

Funny how nutritionists don't help you regarding nutrition during a flare! From what I gather during a flare you want to eat food that is easily digested..avoid seeds and skins on fruit.

When I'm flaring almost anything can cause more urgency and discomfort!

When not flaring, flax seeds (like in my granola) are fine. When flaring, I stay away from nuts and seeds unless they're in butter form. I haven't tried milled flax, so I can't speak directly to that.
What I would do is to skip the flax a few days and see how I felt, experiment some, jot it in the food diary....
