Sounds like a bad Chinese martial arts movie to me . I'm getting punchy! Better get to bed!

And now for something completely serious, nuts and seeds were my pitfalls on SCD. I can't eat my beloved hemp tortillas anymore because they are mostly sunflower seeds (my friend HAD to read the label to me!). If you are reacting to peanuts and sunflower seeds (I react to almonds, peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds), laying off them for a week probably won't do any good. My results from my IgG test recommended eliminating the foods I reacted to for a month, then introducing them one by one on a rotation basis (every 4 days). I'm skeptical a month is long enough! I would get really sick from eating the nuts, so even though they were my treat too, getting diarrhea then feeling crappy for a few hours afterwards was not a treat . I think healing the leaky gut is the key, and I've read that can take 4 to 9 months with weekly acupuncture; longer without. I see the acupuncture specialist next Monday - can't wait!
