I thought nuts in general were a no no with Atkins because nuts are carbs (Any nuts)?

It is strong–but it works miracles IME. I’ve got a script for my 4 month old because he sometimes has bowel spasms. They were really bad for a while, and this stuff saved us. It’s bright green, and a dose as small as 5 cc will calm him right down and get him acting semi-loopy for hours. It’s actually made with belladonna, among other things, which definitely caught my eye when I saw the label. 🙂
