MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Are all almond or cashew butters the same if the ingredients are just nuts and oil? I'm wondering if it matters that they are roasted, dry roasted, blanched and roasted, etc?

So interesting, Tex. I just reviewed my food log, and I think I am one of those people who benefit from Calcium supplement to suppress diarrhea. It seems that my improved frequency lines up well with when I started taking calcium. Could also be coincidence, I guess? I think I'll plan to continue wit...
