No need for toast or crackers... a handful of cashew nuts has been my go to regular snack, like forever.... but with IBSD, nuts are recommended to avoid (as they are for people with diverticulitis). Bring on the smoothness and all the health benefits of nuts in a non gut irritating tablespoon of deliciousness that slowly melts in your mouth with minimum effort!!!
If I want something a bit more substantial, then cashew nut butter with banana, on a base.... adds potassium... and if the sweet tooth is hankering... a little home-made fig jam on top adds another layer of reasonably healthy eating.
The medicine? Psyllium husk... which can be added to any spread, as a more appealing way to ingest it, than mixing in water. I usually blend mine with home-made labneh or hummus, but I'm not loathe to trying it with my cashew butter.
