Almond Milk and GI symptoms from additive carrageenan

Wow…I use almond milk occasionally mainly for cereal. If you still have the container…or remember the brand, see if it contains carrageenan. That is the likely suspect for your stomach issues. Not all almond milk is created equally and some have more additives than others. I use and happen to like Califia unsweetened brand. They also say that if you drink too much, that an over abundance of almonds could wreak havoc with your digestion also. I occasionally drink a warm cup at night to help sleep (it does for me) and I like the idea of the long shelf life because I don’t drink or use a lot of milk. I do like the taste though.

But, if I had your experience I would probably never buy again. Just go with the regular whole milk…organic if possible and thanks for letting people know.

Yes it is the Carrageenan that caused my stomach issues, as I have no problem when eating almonds.
I learned that the food industry is aware of the problem it causes some people but refuse to remove the carrageenan that they use as a thickener. I also learned it is in many other products.
