Are sunflower seeds.....?

Are sunflower seed and flax seeds in the same category as nuts? If the doctor said you cannot have nuts, does that include these also? I forgot to ask him. I would like to know before I am able to talk to him again.


Thanks!!

Are sunflower seeds.....?
Nope. they're seeds. not nuts!
Reply:They are probably in the same category as nuts since nuts are seeds anyway.
Reply:i think u shouldent eat any thing u think is part of nuts untill u ask ur doc lol its better to be safe then sorry
Reply:Yes, sunflower seeds are a 'nut' in the legume family. Nuts are really seeds themselves. If you were to buy some seeds to plant peanut plants you would get a package of peanuts to plant.


Now this is not to say that sunflower seeds and the sort would have the same affect on your body's chemistry as the usual nuts we are most familar with. Just like if somebody were allergic to peanuts they may well be able to eat walnuts with absolutely no ill effects.





So in closing I could put this way: All nuts are seeds, but not all seeds are neccesarily nuts. To error on the side of caution I would recommend you avoid all nuts and seeds until you can consult with your doctor further.
Reply:Yes they are
Reply:I would not eat any nuts because if you are allergic it could cause death! Don't eat any nuts until you can speak with your doctor.





Good Luck.





Take care.
