Is squash seeds reflux diet-compatible?

Watch for

• Borderline for nickel.Seeds and nuts are among the most nickel-dense foods in the diet, and a systemic nickel allergy protocol usually restricts them. If you get pompholyx-type hand eczema or flares without an obvious food cause, a handful of roasted seeds most evenings is worth logging
• Graded high for lectins.Dry roasting in the oven is gentler than boiling and does not deactivate seed lectins as thoroughly as wet heat does, so if lectins are your identified issue, well-roasted is better than lightly toasted and small portions are better than a bowl
• We have no oxalate rating for squash seeds, but pumpkin seeds, which are botanically the same thing from a different cultivar of squash, are documented as high oxalate.If you form calcium oxalate kidney stones, the safe reading of an unrated grade here is caution, not clearance
• The seasoning is often the trigger, not the seed.Packaged and restaurant roasted seeds pick up salt, oil, spice blends and sometimes wheat-containing or glutamate-heavy seasonings. Our grades describe the plain roasted seed only
• Portion sneaks up.Whole unhulled seeds are dense in fat and insoluble fibre, and a large handful eaten straight off the tray can produce cramping and heaviness that has nothing to do with a food chemical sensitivity
