Hi there, I buy the ground almonds either in small 70gm packets, or sometimes from the bulk bins at the supermarket. I'm pretty sure they're blanched - there's no brown bits - so no skins I guess.
I am indeed keeping a food journal - everything gets written down along with how I'm feeling.
IBS is my most severe symptom, and I feel I may have just turned the corner - bloating much better, and I'm starting to feel positive that I may get this demon under control, it's ruled my life for far too long. I am also taking Nilstat tabs for candida at the moment as the dr thinks this may be an issue, although I wasn't aware I had it!
All the best,
Jo
