Avocado Pits may be useful...

[One]

So I was searching online yesterday and I ended up reading about the health benefits of avocado seeds. Apparently there are people who make tea with them or throw them into vitamix smoothies-or boil them and just eat them. I also read that they are high in potassium and help relieve stomach troubles and diarrhea- so maybe they'll help out a Crohnie? I'm not sure how valid all this is but I'm wondering if anyone has investigated this topic before.

Interesting. Never heard of that before. All I remember is that they are poisonous to dogs. So watch it.

Never heard of it, but sounds interesting.

take a look on wiki before trying this :-

it is very poisonous to many animals,
seeds cannot be digested - would be very painfull to us crohnies
the actual fruit is 75% insoluble fiber

dont think i would eat any part of it without lots of pain
