Clemmys ice cream?

[brooklyngirl]

Has anyone tried this? I'm gonna give it a shot tomorrow night in case there's some ill effects from the sugar alcohols, but lactose free sounds promising

Not I, but if I see it at the store, I might. I don't have problems with lactose now, but did for a year or so post op, and took something when I ate ice cream to help. Carb Smart is pretty good too, with lower sugar, but not sure about lactose. Let us know how the Clemmys was.

I found it at Safeway and bought a few. Very good and very rich. Sugar alcohols don't bother me any more so that wasn't a problem but not eating the whole container at one time was so I'm probably not going to get anymore. Not at $4 for 16 oz.

Lactose free would be nice but sugar free is a KILLER!

Interesting what they put on the back of the Clemmy's
I checked just the vanilla.

*Sensitive individuals may experience a laxative effect from excess consumption of this ingredient.

This was also on the back of the sugar free jelly bellies I bought a few weeks ago. Yeah. 8 jelly beans was enough to do it!

This is not ice cream. It is a bowel cleanse.

The SA could probably kill me... the associated gas could kill my cat...I would not try it...

I have such bad constipation that I purposely eat things with sugar alcohol in it and it doesn't do a thing for me. Not even gas. I think I've just built some kind of tolerance, not just to sugar alcohol but all kinds of laxative products. Thank god Miralax still works. I have even toyed with buying some of those sugar free gummy bears to see if they would help.

Lauren did you try this yet? I'm vair intrigued

Don't keep us wondering - yummy? explosive diarrhea?

Hey! So I tried it for the first time last night. I think the flavor is peanut butter chocolate chip. It wasn't anywhere near as decadent as my beloved Haagen Dazs, but it was good and definitely did NOT taste sugar free. That being said, I only had half a serving (about 1/4 cup) and I woke up about 4 hours later feeling the gurgling down below and had to head to the potty. It wasn't disastrous, but was definitely a looser than normal experience. I didn't have cramping or gas pains, but again, I ate very little. I imagine that if I ate the 1/2 cup or (as I used to do with my Haagen Dazs) take the whole container to the couch with a spoon, it would've been bad.
So, I dunno if it was good enough to be worth it, maybe in a pinch or if I'm constipated

I'd just eat Hagen Dasz and be done with it.

 

[brooklyngirl]

Honestly, I was thinking the same thing. That might hurt my stomach just as bad but it would definitely be worth it!

IF it hurts bad enough, you will give it up. I've given up on ice cream...altho I am doing frozen yogurt. And I AM still taking a lactaid pill. I do know there is milk in frozen yogurt but it doesn't bother me like the really good ice cream.
