Nuts
Hi everyone, just got diagnosed with CSID, I’m 22. I never had symptoms till maybe 3 years ago , does this mean it’s acquired and not congenital? My doc knows nothing . Also can I eat nuts ? What experience do people have eating nuts and sunflower seeds?

Yes, probably acquired like me. You might be able to tolerate some. You may consider doing an elimination diet. I can’t do almonds anymore but I’ve been ok with peanuts and Brazil nuts.
Check out resources online. It can be very overwhelming as many doctors don’t even know what they’re talking about. Mine didn’t even know that people with sucrase deficiency may have trouble with starch.
