Author	Topic: I can't eat nuts. Got any alternatives for their nutrients?
Isis 02-05-2003 10:54 PM	I noticed that I get pretty sick as a parrot after eating raw brazil nuts and hazelnuts (amongst others). I have Crohn's disease and am currently having a flare-up. My doctor and Specialist Nurse told me that nuts were a no-no. It kindda figured...nuts do make me physically sick. Apparently it's something to do with my impaired digestive system... I was wondering if there is anything I can consume to get the benefit of these nuts. If I can get my hands on some raw brazil nut oil (if such a thing exists...it seems to get rancid pretty quick) or raw hazelnut oil, then maybe I can use them in my salad instead? As for the protein, I think I will just have to eat more raw egg yolks and be on the lookout for sushi. Thanks
