peekingLilly Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 So I started Paleo30 September 21 and have been doing great....So I thought! I had bought coconut milk and almond milk because it was on the approved list - so really my first time ever buying either and I bought a gallon of each. Today I read about guar gum - in coconut milk, and carrageenan in Almond milk both ingredients NOT on the approved list. I didn't drink it every day, but I have 10 days left and - well - I am not sure. Should this mean a restart? Eating healthy is never a waste of time - but I really thought I was doing this right - and I would like a glass of wine on day 31 Thoughts?

Guest Andria Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Gaur gum is ok during a Whole30. Carrageenan is not. The only compliant almond milk is one you make with almonds and water. There a re several brands of canned coconut milk that are compliant, just stay away from the refrigerated ones in cartons. I will leave it up to a moderator as to whether you should restart. But I do think the carrageenan could be a major issue as it can impair gut healing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 What Andria said. Unfortunately consuming carageenan does merit a restart. Get coconut milk in cans only. Guar gum is ok on a Whole30. You don't want any canned coconut milk that contains potassium metabisulfite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekingLilly Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thank you for the replies. I've learned so many great recipes and really didn't find following it that difficult with all the information found online. I just wish I found this out sooner Thanks again!
