So apparently pistachios... and most any other nut is no longer an option for me?  My husband brought home an insanely large sack of pistacios and I had about 5... and then the stomach PAIN and cramps set in for about 2 hours.  Anyone else having trouble with nuts?

Hi Heather, sorry you experienced such a problem eating nuts, I did not have any pain issues eating them, but I did leave them alone about a month ago because for some reason it was stalling my weight loss, for me it is probably the sodium in them, I am real sensitive to sodium and will retain fluid like crazy. I still eat peanuts occassionally but sunflower seeds and pistachios are a no no for me!!! 

Hopefully you will be able to find some type of nuts that will not cause you so much discomfort!!

You are doing great on your weight loss by the way!! 

Happy Holidays!!

 My nutritionists advised to stay away from all nuts because there is not enough protein in there for the calories they have.  I havent touched a nut or nut product since my surgical consult.

I did the first 3 or 4 times I ate them. But my body adjusted. I eat almonds almost daily, just a few is perfect

Yep; peanuts. I start feeling odd, mostly fullness, if I eat about 4 or 5 nuts. These are the breaks I guess. I don't get stomach pain and cramps but I'm sure if I ate more than that I would. Oddly popcorn has the same effect that 5 nuts have on you if I eat too much of it.
