A question for the vets

I just got myself some pistachios. I ate about 1oz of them, and oh sweet mercy did I get sick. It did everything to me the same as when I get dumping syndrome. How in the world did I get this off of nuts? Just lightly salted pistachios. Nothing else on them, and they were already shelled. I got it in the health food section, I thought it would be great to eat once in awhile because they have great potasium and fiber and the protein isn't bad. Oh my gosh did I get sick on them. I thought they might be ok, even though I had previously tried some peanut butter and same thing with that. I thought perhaps it was the oil or added sugar in peanut butter. But same exact thing... does anyone know why I might be getting dumping symptoms on nuts?

i only can have a few pistachios, or a few cashews, or walnuts. They don't agree with my pouch. even now- 10 years post op.

It could be that they're just too fatty/rich for your system. I get that way with cashews, to a lesser extent, but I'm okay with peanuts and pistachios.

That's what I was thinking too. I can't tolerate a lot of super-rich stuff.

I am 14? Post op and I can only eat a few nuts.

Yes, but you also think people should not eat two eggs at a time and you think we who " snack" are going to gain back our weight or that we're gluttons or something.

Really I'm not sure on the dumping from Nuts but from what I have read from others it does seem like some people have a hard time dealing with them. I can have nuts and TBH i feel like they are a weakness of mine cause while they do have protein and fiber they also have higher calories then other better nutrient rich foods. Also I know eating pistachios and other nuts can help relieve constipation. I was about to ask if your eating too much of them but I reread your post and 1 oz does not seem like too large a portion. I have only got 1 real bad reaction so far since my surgery back on Halloween 2017. That was about a month after surgery I ate maybe a quarter cup of homemade applesauce with no added sugar and it caused my my whole body to get ice cold and shake and shiver like some bad actor over playing a role with Parkinsons. It lasted about 30-45 min and I have been terrified of trying applesauce again. Anyway I wish you good luck and safe eating in the future. Maybe the nuts issue will be a phase and over time you will be able to handle them better.

I can't speak to the dumping issue. But honestly, you could do MUCH better on the protein. Nuts are too high in calories for the protein they provide; ideally, your snacks should have at least 10g protein per 100 calories. 1oz of pistachios have about 150 calories and only 6 g protein.

Ya, that is why I figured it would be a once in a while thing. Kind of like a treat for me. But no way, not after the reaction I had with them. I think I will just forgo nuts and continue what I have been eating. Although yesterday my doctor told me I need to cut back on protein because mine was very high according to my bloodwork. Should I listen to doctor and cut back or should I continue on my path I have been. I don't feel bad and my kidneys are healthy.

Also, thank you to all who have given suggestions and answers I appreciate it. Good news is I'm down to 206.. bad news is, it is taking FOREVER!! and I'm only taking in 550-600 cals a day. Not sure if it's a good idea to cut back on that some more or just keep trudging. PCOS is such a bummer to have when your trying to loose weight. My body hangs onto every last drop of fat I have and only lets go reluctantly at best. Even without having any ovaries or uterus. I wish PCOS would of dissipated when those were removed but no such luck. Ahh well. I am 7 lbs away from wonderland and I can't wait!!!
