can carrageenan cause diarrhea
Carrageenan sensitivity. Carrageenan, a food thickener used in dairy alternatives, may be the cause of digestive problems and inflammation in sensitive individuals. How does that make you feel? You switch to non-dairy beverages because of milk intolerance and end up with more of the same digestive woes. In sensitive individuals, carrageenan can produce painful cramps, bloating and diarrhea. Carrageenan, made from red seaweed, is used as a thickener/stabilizer/emulsifier that adds no nutritional value.
