Plant Milk Gum Thickener Tolerance
Gums and thickeners in plant milks stabilize foam but can upset sensitive guts—test simpler ingredient lists and portion size.
Plant milk gum thickener tolerance is individual—carrageenan, gellan, locust bean gum, and sunflower lecithin stabilize barista foams but can bother sensitive guts when chugged daily in large lattes. Symptoms are dose-dependent, not automatic allergy.
Trying unsweetened brands with shorter ingredient lists helps isolation. Homemade blends skip gums but lack fortification unless you add it.
Training GI distress belongs in food logs, not dismissed as stress.
