Liz,

I eat nothing but meat, veg and fruit (quite a bit of fruit, 5-10
portions a day).  I have the odd egg, but no more than 4 a week.  Until
recently I ate a lot of nuts (up to 100g a day).  Since cutting these
out my stools are darker but still won't stay down.  I was under the
impression that pale stools were caused by liver problems, so I hope
nuts aren't pickling my insides.  Maybe a few more weeks nut-free will
see more improvement.
