I did a search on The Uncheese Cookbook and found some dialogue about it, but could not find the answer to this question - I noticed that most of the cheese recipes call for fairly large amounts of nuts (usually about 1/2 cup). Many of the recipes call for cashews. I thought nuts were something that IBSers are supposed to avoid. Cashews can be a trigger for me. Does it make a huge difference that they are to be ground up? Does this make them more digestible? I was really looking forward to making some uncheese until I saw the ingredients. Has anyone tried to make/eat these recipes?
Thank-you,
pinky

I've never tried any uncheese recipes, but I do know nuts are easier to digest when ground.

Hi - I have the cookbook, but haven't had the chance to try a single recipe (though they look great). A lot of them do have a high quantity of ground cashews, which would make them high fat, so you'd have to be careful. Finely grinding the nuts helps minimize the effects of the insoluble fiber, but it won't mitigate the fat content. But, many of the recipes are for items you would be eating in pretty small quantities along with a soluble fiber base. And there are also a fair number of tofu based recipes that don't use nuts.
I really need to start trying these recipes and see how they come out. They seem to be the only alternative to commercial soy/rice cheese products.
Best,
Heather
