I asked abut nuts and seeds NDA was told to chew well, but no limitations. I'm still hesitant with pepperoni, hot dogs or things with casings. Nuts and seeds seem okay for me.

By all means, yes you can eat them! I eat nuts and seeds daily, some are chewed better than others and some come out whole. Not a problem. You can eat anything you want u less it causes you problems. I have not found a food that I cannot eat due to my jpouch.

Yes, eat it all - by all means... And those seeds go right through the coloned too but because they usually have a much more solid stool it's not as visible. I can consume huge bags of sunflower seeds, popcorn, and all those supposedly 'bad' foods. There are no bad foods unless YOU say they're bad - like zucchini. Yuck. But that's because it's a mushy tasteless vegetable.

Eat on.

I have lots of foods that sometimes come through undigested and it does not stop me from eating them. Whenever I eat a large salad it comes through partially digested even if I chew it well.

All you can do is chew it well, and if you see whole seeds perhaps you need to do a better job chewing. But it is not going to harm you, you just are going to get less nutrition out of these kinds of foods unless you chew hell out of them.

BTW I recently tried Sunbutter which is Sunflower seed butter made chunky style like chunky peanut butter. It was very good, although I think it has about the same calories and fat as peanut butter.

Thank you all! I knew whether it was good or bad I could count on you for feedback. I must say since I had the crackers in soup, and the soup made them mushy, I know I didn't chew very well. I've eaten nuts without trouble because I'm sure to chew carefully. In fact, I normally do chew thoroughly, but didn't with the soup and crackers. I've been pretty amazed at all I've been able to eat lately to include things like salad and raw veggies. It's a relief to know if something gets through undigested it's not a big deal. Take care all!
