Severe Stomach Pains After Eating Natural Almond With Skin. What Is Causing It ?

Hi, I have had severe stomach pains 8-9/10 3hrs after eating a handfull of natural almonds with skins on. I sometimes get stomach pain to a lesser degree with grains such as quinoa and ground skinned almonds but it is getting more severe each time. What is causing it? Do I have to stop nuts altogether? I've become allergic to Kiwi fruit and voltaren gel as I have gotten older, is it related?

Hi and thanks for the query,
It might be necessary to be extremely sure that the person appeared only after eating these seeds. If its the case, you might need to avoid them in future. Your body has been sensitized already, and if you are exposed subsequently, the reaction could be more severe.
At this point in time, it might necessary to know if other extra digestive symptoms like skin manifestations are present or not. If not, it might be important to prescribe a proton pump inhibitor to reduce gastric acid and added to an antacid to neutralize any effect of gastric acid, thus reducing the pain. Anti emmetics could be useful to alleviate any nausea symptoms.
Consult your primary care physician for a complete clinical review.
Kind regards, Bain MD.
