It's true that nuts are easier to digest if finely ground, but I don't think they're "not allowed." Also, the diet is not a fat-free diet, but a low-fat one, and nuts are "good fat." I'm basing this on what Heather has to say here:
"As an aside here, while it's crucial to maintain a low fat diet in order to manage Irritable Bowel Syndrome, it's equally important that you do not go fat free. Though it makes no difference to your gastrocolic reflex if you're eating lard or extra-virgin olive oil, it will make quite a difference to your heart and your health in general. Your body needs healthy fats in order to function. Keep your fat intake to 20% - 25% of your total calories, and make your fats count. They should be monounsaturated and contain essential fatty acids, so choose fat sources such as olive oil, canola oil, avocados, finely ground nuts, fatty fish, flax oil, etc."
And, for those people who are stable, eating a few nuts (safely) is probably okay, especially if they're toasted or incorporated with other SF foods.
