Nuts - your favorite.


Be very careful eating nuts. A few years ago, I bought a large bag of roasted nuts from Costco - and around 2PM I got hungry, so I started eating those nuts. Wound up in the hospital for several days and was diagnosed with diverticulitis. I had it come back a couple of times afterward. I could eat cereals that have small pieces of nuts in it and I'm fine.

My neighbor went to visit her mother and started eating nuts - also wound up in the hospital with diverticulitis.

Diverticulitis is also caused when eating too much popcorn.

For a few years,I started buying those small size chocolates in a bag from Costco I would eat 3 around 2PM (my snack time).

Recently, I purchased 1/2 gallon containers of vanilla bean ice cream and I put pineapple chunks or other fruits - in it - with honey.
