Prebiotic Potential Of Almonds

ScienceDaily (July 1, 2008)

Heh...so my almond craving last year was my subconscious acting in
benefit of my gut?..or one more reason to trust my gut?..

People should keep in mind that almonds and other fruits and nuts (almonds
are technically fruits!) can wreak havoc on the digestive systems of people
with inflammatory bowel disease--some can digest them with no problem,
others go through hell. Proceed with caution.

And further, almonds and other nuts are high in oxalates. People with
IBD often develop calcium oxalate kidney stones (I do) and those people
should avoid high-oxalate foods for that reason.

"Janice"--
Are you a trained health-care professional of any sort? It seems that you
must be either (a) a world-class authority in this area or (b) a rank
ignoramus, for you have just made up terminology that clashes with the
scientific usage of the most esteemed authorities in the medical field.
Let's look at the following sources to see whether (a) or (b) is the correct
answer:

The Mayo Clinic:
"Crohn's disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is a condition
in which the lining of your digestive tract becomes inflamed, causing severe
diarrhea and abdominal pain."
"Ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes chronic
inflammation of the digestive tract, is characterized by abdominal pain and
diarrhea.

By the way, dear "Ball on Fire" on whatever your problem is: exactly what is
"tripe" about information from Johns Hopkins, Harvard, the Mayo Clinic, etc?
The only "tripe" was the preceding post, with its dopey mischaracterization
of the disease that afflicts so many people who need accurate information
from this forum, not misinformation. You care nothing about that--just
venting your bile about imaginary posts from me to a forum that never
existed. It takes all kinds.

First, what kind of loon adopts the monkiers "Balls of Fire?" That pretty
much tells you all you need to know about this guy.

Dear "Balls of Fire" (and I do hope you see a urologist about this
condition!), kindly do me two favors:
(a) Explain exactly which fact I have wrong in my response to "Janice." She
irresponsibly mislabels...
