"Fibers and incompletely digested foods, including nuts, that reach the proximal colon provide compounds required for maintaining a diverse microbiota," said Mai. "While still in the early stages of research, this study is a promising sign that increasing consumption of nuts, specifically pistachios, provides a novel means to modify the number of the gut's 'healthy' microbiota, with potential health benefits."

There is so much contradicting information on the internet. I've discovered this in the hundreds if not thousands of hours of research and learning i've done in the last 18 months.
I was on a candida diet for a while because I have or had candida overgrowth and leaky gut. Pistachios are a big no no.

I eat daily, pistachios, walnuts, almonds and pecans. I think they are awesome healthy nuts and really help my lipid panel.

I too eat nuts daily but in small quantities. Mostly almonds because I have a jar of them in the kitchen where it is easy to grab a few on the fly.

I agree they're healthy and good and I eat most of them too, just wanted to point out to anyone with yeast overgrowth or leaky gut they're not good for.
