Need help with Almond Milk....

[valkay18]

I've noticed that some of you drink almond milk. Is this generally well tolerated by IC'ers? What brands are out there that do not contain problem ingredients? I am very diet sensitive, and would really appreciate some brand suggestions.

Also, can most IC'ers tolerate Almonds? I have seen the diet list many times, and see that they are on there, but so are peanuts. I cannot tolerate peanuts & peanut butter at all.

Thanks!

I'm ok with almonds, but not walnuts - those give me an instant flare. Peanuts I'm very very allergic to, so won't ever be trying those!!!

Not all nuts are the same... (Which sounds like it should be the punch line to a joke.)

I'm really diet sensitive as well, but I have no problem with almond milk. In fact, it is a go-to drink for me when I'm having a flare. I buy Almond Breeze -- there are several different 'flavours' but I usually go with the one that is sweetened vanilla (good for cereal, baking). I would recommend that you just try out the Original unsweetened kind first, just to see how you react. If you can tolerate it, than try out the ones with added vanilla and sugar.

If you don't like almond milk, try rice milk. I can tolerate rice milk too, but I find that almond milk has a richer taste. Good luck!

I also can tolerate the almond milk, I drink the ALMOND BREEZE kind. BUT I drink the PLAIN, no sugar cane added, no flavour...etc, just plain. I flare from the cane sugar that is added and the flavours, so be careful starting out and start with the PLAIN, UNSWEETENED first.

I am also able to tolerate almond butter, and peanut butter (the natural kinds, no sugar added) Again we are all different so go slowly with all these drinks/foods, just to be safe.

Peace

I drink coconut milk and love it.

I haven't had any trouble with almond or rice milk. I've used all different kinds of almond milk. The only thing with almond milk is it's not really white and is kind of thick. I usually mix the almond and rice milk together and get a nice consistency and color.

I can eat almonds no problem. I buy the almond breeze brand too. Ok I admit I used to drink alot of the unsweetened chocolate but haven't tried it in awhile cuz I'm trying to follow the diet. Might try it and see if it bothers me though since I'm trying one different thing every day.

I can eat almonds. They are good for an appetite suppressant too! Just a small handful (portion size is 17) and I am good for hours!

I drink Almond Breeze and it's wonderful and never bothers me. The Silk brand has B vitamins added so I stay away from that brand.
