do peanuts cause pain for anyone? I'm starting to think it is causing me inflammation, yet interestingly, when I do on-line research many sites claim they are good for endo?

Peanuts make me bloated. Seriously. They are technically a seed, which means they try their best to survive the gut and not get broken down, which means they can cause bloating and inflammation in some.

I am not 100% on this but I have heard with diverticulitis you can not have seeds and nuts.

Well in the endo book by Carolyn Levett she says that nuts and seeds help to block the estrogen receptors but she says to avoid eating peanuts. I generally try to avoid peanuts but have peanut butter once in a blue moon

Hi All i was wondering the same thing. I thought i read somewhere to avoid peanuts but info on the net says they are good for endo. I made a delish smoothy yesterday and it had peanut butter in it so thats why i wondered. I think il apply the same logic as chicken and eggs im gonna use it every now and then but try to get organic. My receipe also said i could use almond butter instead which would be a good calcium boost. Im all about the calcium since i started this diet. I havent tried almond butter at all yet but i'll give it a go next time.

Nuts in general should be eaten in moderation. So many people find they cause bloating as nuts/legumes are not easily digestible, and they have enzymes that can actually prevent other nutrients from being absorbed.

There are many other sources about peanuts (and nuts, and grains / legumes), but here's the first one that popped up on google regarding them: www.paleoplan.com/2011/04-27/phytates/If you think of it, peanuts are seed, as are beans, grains, etc. Nature intends for the seeds to survive some really harsh conditions until the moment is just right to sprout and grow into another plant. So, they have defense mechanisms hard-wired to keep from being broken down by the body (or whatever other conditions it could encounter). In turn, it means it's difficult to digest and can actually prevent other nutrients from being absorbed as a result. A good example is corn: you eat it one day, and then a few days later, it comes out the other end looking exactly the same as it did going in. The body can't digest it. Some seeds/nuts are better or worse than others and there are ways to combat some of the effects as outlined in the article. For me, I still consume nuts/seeds a bit here and there, but when they've been in my diet on constant rotation, the bloat was considerable. They're a 'sometimes' food for me, not an 'everyday' or 'weekly' food.

The endo book says that nut butters are allowed for us endo girls and she even suggests how to make your own.
My question is if you want to buy the nut butters do you go for the sugar free option? Sometimes it's difficult as the manufacturers decide to add a teeny bit of sugar into the product. (Yup, I now read the labels like crazy).
Also does anyone know of a good health food store that has sugar free peanut butter in New York?

See above about some things to consider about nuts. They aren't good for everyone, and can often cause bloating. If you have it often and see some signs of bloating, you may want to back off it for a bit.
As for sugar, for some reason, the food industry feels they need to sneak it into ever stinking food item. If you can find it sugar-free, you'll be better off. I'm willing to bet you could find some sugar-free pb at Whole Foods or similar. I know my local co-op has a peanut grinder so you can make your own fresh, natural pb, but I am sensitive to nuts so I don't get it anymore.
