How safe is silk Creamy cashew unsweetened original:
ingredients: cashew base (filtered water, cashews), sea salt, locust bean gum, almond butter, sinflower lecithin, natural flavour, gellan cum, ascorbic acid.
Do I make my own: 3/4 cup raw unsalted cashews 3-4 cups filtered water, plus more soaking cashews
or are nuts just not an option for us with HFI
Should I switch back to Lactose free milk 2%?

Hi Gerri,
I have always thought nuts were a no go with HFI. we avoid them. I also stay away from natural flavors. Sometimes sweeteners can be hidden in there.
I would stick with pain old milk.

Those of us who are dairy intolerant or even lactose intolerance must make other choices than cow's milk. Some folks are lucky enough that they can get by on Lactose Free Dairy Milk, but not all of us. If you are a baby (of course breast is best) or a child, it is more complicated since drinking "milk" is a lot of your calories. But for adults, we can actually do without having to drink milk; although it is nice to have something as a substitute when recipes call for it. It is usually easier to choose recipes where milk is not a main ingredient (say like a custard). I find I can use an alternate "milk" in these cases; preferring to use unsweetened rice milk, soy milk, or even almond milk...but never coconut milk, as it really does make me sick. I looked up the carbs for almonds vs. cashews and was surprised at how much lower cashews were in sugars. [https://nutritiondata.self.com/] I have not yet tried unsweetened cashew milk in recipes, but think I will. [HFI comes in Mild to Sever forms with a sliding scale in between. What is safe for some of us is probably not for others. Adults: You may need to experiment and find your own tolerance level as our body ratio is bigger and more stable. Not a recommendation for children!]

I would not make any yourself. I suspect the things like "Almond milk" is actually made form almond residue after cruising the almonds for the oil.
This would remove most of the Fructose which is highly soluble and the water would go out with the oil.
Either way there is far less fructose in Almond milk than I would expect from using whole almonds, which are far too high in sugar for us to safely eat on a regular basis.. as with cashews too high for regular consumption.

Hi interesting article. My understanding is no HFI patient should have nuts. Unless there is s lactose intolerance as well then stick to plain old milk. Please don’t confuse HFI with Fructose Malsorption especially when advising on what someone can can’t eat. I’m now 60 born with HFI sibling diet of it , I am P149 confirmed at Addenbrooke’s. I still slip up go hypo and get depressed and enraged in equal measures. I still struggle food wise and find shopping a nightmare! My original food list is not very accurate as manufacturers change ingredients constant ingredients constantly. Best of luck to all😊
