Is flatulence a good indicator that nuts are raw?

Raw foods are limited locally. I have two choices at Walmart that are labeled "natural" and basically unroasted. I know that unless it is labeled "raw" it has been processed in some way. However, one brand does not give me gas, but Blue Diamond Almonds do give me gas-really bad. Is this a sign that they are "raw"?

do you soak your nuts?

It's a good indication your body is having trouble digesting the fats. Try making nutmilks instead. Always soak first.

Best bet is to call the company and ask them how their nuts are processed.

Why do you say that my body could be having a hard time digesting the fat? I always thought it was the proteins that are hard to digest. I ask because most foods that I have a sensitiivity to are high fat- coconut, avocado, canola, olive....Hmmm

Kazzie,
I soak my nuts sometimes, but only one brand causes problems whether they are soaked or not. The other brand does not give me any problems, dry or soaked. That's why I was wondering if the brand that gives me gas is "more raw" than the other that doesn't cause any problems.
