A member asked:
Can sunflower seeds lead to intestinal issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seeds: We used to think that ingested seeds could irritate diverticuli and cause diverticulitis, however some of the more recent literature disputes this. Sunflower seeds are a good source of b vitamins and e. Enjoy them as a part of a balanced diet.
