"Nuts are good for what ails ya!.................."

Years ago I used to drink a clear pistachio liqueur. I thought it was called Pistachia! but can't find it online anywhere now. They now have different kinds of pistachio liqueurs, but most of them are of a cream version. Diabetic now, so I don't imbibe any alchohol, but I do enjoy pistachios from time to time. I also have diverticulitis, which for years caused me not to eat any nuts. And although I stuck to the diet (no corn, popcorn, raisins), I ended up with a perforated bowel caused by the diverticulitis, and had to wear a colostomy bag for 3 months while my resection healed, and the reversal surgery could occur. That was back in 2010. My gastroenterologist said I can eat nuts, but I need to chew them very well. Despite the health benefits, I don't feel that they've helped my digestive system in any way whatsoever.
