WTF, Are nuts supposed to be 'whole' in my sh#t?

[SubjectiveIllusion]

I thought I chewed my sunflower seeds well, apparently not! Anyways, is it normal for nuts to appear completely undigested in your stool? I'm talking completly whole and undigested,.. untouched!

Corn is probably worse

Every fat containing food that I've tried gives me problems. Chewing my food into a myriad of pieces only comes out the same it went down my esophagus.

Here are some of the foods and the problems I encounter with them:

1. Nuts- not digested
2. Olive and canola oil- Extream gas. Even with only I tablespoon.
3. Flax- Headache, gas, nausea.
4. Animal fats- Headache, nausea.

My diet is really clean, and since I found this connection out I have consumed less then 20 gr fat/day, and all my gas and headaches have went away.

What could be the problem? Liver, gallbladder, pancreas, leaky gut, allergys, etc??? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

One good thing- I am quite skinny!!!

what colour are your stools? pale? do they float and are difficult to flush? have a really bad smell?

any abdominal pain or tenderness? which is asscociated with fatty food intake?

what colour is your urine....is it really dark?

have the whites of your eyes gone yellow?


if you think its a problem, maybe you should see a doctor so he can run some tests and stuff....only way to know

The stools are light brown. No problem with regularity. I go twice a day. Easy to expel. They are floaters, easy to flush. Smells like shit to me, LOL, seriously though, not 'that' bad.

No abdominal pain. My urine colour is from almost clear to dull yellow, and brighter but not too bright yellow a few hours after I take my Multi-vitamin.

Eye whites, white.

I saw my doctor today. She said nothing can be done and some people are this way. A complete let down as I expected. I currently take in almost ziltch fat and all my symptoms have ceased (gas, bloating, headache, nausea..), great albiet I cannot 'in good health' just subsist on protein and carbs all my life..

I told my doctor about my low oral temperature and bradycardia. Shes took blood and is running tests for iron and the hemaglobin (sp?). The results will be in in about 3 days..

If you have any ideas I would be so greatful!!!!!!! Its so hard when everyone gives you up for crazy!

Isn't ginger root supposed to help with digestion? That might be worth looking into.

I get slight headaches and nausea from flax too. I still take it though.

hmm.....she thinks your anaemic? maybe she;s checking for malabsorbtion, either of iron or of B12 and folate?!? low oral temp and bradycardia makes me think lower metabolism...but i dont know how that would manifest in fat metabolism

did she look at your toungue? how about your conjuctiva (the bottom 'lip' around the eyer when pulled back)....she notice anything there?

ask her about taking digestive enzymes with your meal, if you have extra lipases with your meal it should help fat digestion if that the problem. i don;t know of any herbs that assist wih fat abosrbtion


(btw all the questions i asked were about jaundice due to post-liver obstruction, doesnt sound like u have that and your doc doesnt think so either)
