Buy a coffee grinder and label it “Nuts Only.”

Put a few almonds in them and grind away.

Sprinkle them in oatmeal.

Thank you CTC.

I shall take your suggestion and hopefully I’ll get the flavor of almonds without the agony of the teeth.

I’m not sure I caught your meaning, but you and my dad are born in the same year, and he’s very healthy (no jabs obviously) and he eats chocolate covered almonds too heh.

Is there any other way to eat them? :)

Any supplements that provide the key ingredients?

Resistant fiber helps similar gut bacteria, and there are supplements with that.

Green plantains are one example of a food with butyrate-producing qualities.

I have a mortar and pestal …. I’ll grind em in there by hand. Good for taking out my aggressions…😠

Gut health doesn’t have a standard. Someone eating a lot of fiber needs the bacteria to deal with fiber. Someone on a low fiber diet doesn’t need the same bacteria. And our bodies will adjust very quickly - within days - to a different food intake.

PS: I live on a nearly no fiber diet. Feel better than when I ate more fiber.

almonds have a lot of resistant starch in them. I typically like to add almond flour and walnut flour coconut flour plus a bunch more flours that are all resistant starches.

Resistant starches feed the gut bacteria.

My theory is that different resistant starches feed different gut bacteria. So a good way to increase the varieties of good bacteria in your gut is to feed them different kinds of resistant starches.

but shoot. its just a theory.

I have no proof.

Have you seen any studies on this?
