I was in heaven making up for all the years I didn’t eat ice cream, and then I started paying attention to the CALORIES I was consuming. Yikes! Heh, heh, now I am trying to stop my waistline from getting any bigger, and it ain’t easy….
Guar gum be damned. But I WILL look for it as an additive in other products.
I have had Ulcerative Colitis for 30 years, so I pay attention to this stuff.
Do remember the purpose of this study was to induce IBD with a proven agent.
The paper says guar gum is fine for healthy people, but taking it for four weeks set up substances in the colon wall that greatly exacerbated the IBD-making agent.
That said, if you already have IBD, guar gum would appear to increase the problem.
I love Breyers Carbsmart ice cream.
It’s got maltitol which causes gastro effects in some people.
And it’s got soluable corn fiber.
So not sure if that fiber is good or not.
