Pages: 1 Alternatives to yogurt       #367712 - 07/03/12 03:12 AM Edit Reply Quote mradams1 Reged: 07/12/10 Posts: 206 Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative to dairy and soy yogurts? I've found coconut milk yogurt-would that be IBS safe? Or does anyone have a suggestion for what I could substitute for yogurt in recipes? Would fruit purees work? Any thoughts would be appreciated -------------------- IBS A. Managing my symptoms with the EFI/FODMAP diet and probiotics.

It contains 4.5 grams of fat per 114 grams of product or 4% fat which is not too bad. However, it does contain inulin - a rapidly fermenting soluble fiber which can product a lot of gas. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Alternatives to yogurt       #367715 - 07/03/12 09:11 AM Edit Reply Quote shelgirl Reged: 09/22/09 Posts: 205 Loc: Wisconsin Another great alternative is Almond Dream yogurt. I was eating the So Delicious coconut yogurt but had a problem with the inulin if I ate too much. I was so happy to find this had none Almond Dream Yogurt -------------------- IBS-D.

Where did you find the Almond Dream yogurt? -------------------- IBS C + D for 14 years. I am finally becoming open-minded enough to get out of my own way.

Unfortunately neither of those brands, or any rice/nut yogurts, seems to be available in the UK. I have found a coconut milk yogurt without Inulin called COYO that I might try and track down at a health food store. -------------------- IBS A.

I asked our local grocery and they ordered it so now we have it closer to home as well. If you don't see it in your groceries you might ask if they can order. I think it just is a fantastic alternative yogurt and I have no gas or problems with it. -------------------- IBS-D. Eating gluten and dairy free.

Having found Coyo I'm not convinced its a safe option. The ingredients are: Coconut milk 97.9%, tapioca starch, xylitol, selected probiotic cultures. Fat wise: 16g per 100g. The fat content of 16% is perhaps a little high and the Xylitol could cause problems. Any thoughts? -------------------- IBS A. Managing my symptoms with the EFI/FODMAP diet and probiotics.

Xylitol belongs to the sugar alcohols like sorbitol and mannitol which is a FODMAP and it can be IBS unfriendly. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Alternatives to yogurt       #367737 - 07/06/12 06:44 AM Edit Reply Quote mradams1 Reged: 07/12/10 Posts: 206 I've also found an almond 'yogurt.' (Ecomil dessert) It's mostly composed of water and sugar. Ingredients: Water, raw cane sugar, almonds(7.5%), corn maltodextrin, tapioca starch, thickner:carob bean flour, natural vanilla flavouring, curcuma extract. Fat wise it's 4g/100g which I think would be fine. The sugar content is 12g/100g. I think anything above 15g/100g sugar is considered high. Any thoughts on the other ingredients? -------------------- IBS A. Managing my symptoms with the EFI/FODMAP diet and probiotics.

A quick Google seems to show it is only available in the UK. Do you live in the UK? It looks ok - not sure what 7.5% almonds means but I suspect is means 7.5% almond milk. It doesn't seem to contain IBS unfriendly ingredients and the fat content looks reasonable. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
