    I have to avoid all foods that have Carrageenan in them because it gives me stomach ache and diarrhea. They should not be adding it to our food supply. I have been appalled to even find it in a roasting chicken. It was in the solution they injected it with. Someone needs to do more testing on the safety of Carrageenan being added to our food supply. I have found that I am not the only one that it ... Show Full Comment

    I have been an unwitting user of this "treatment," since carrageenan seems to have been slipped into most food products. In terms of its healthfulness, it ranks right up there with cigarettes and asbestos, should be banned, and the public advised of its dangers.

    I quit eating meat back in January. To take care of the protein side of it, I started drinking Special K protein shakes and the store brand kind. About a month ago I realized my stomach was bloated and swollen all day, especially after I ate. I couldn't quite put my finger on what was causing it. Every time I drank the shakes, I would look at the ingredients and this one stood out. I never bo ... Show Full Comment

    Comment:
    Carrageen causes my large intestine to become extremely inflamed, which is very painful, with burning. The pain, inflammation, and burning only go away after I sleep, which is difficult while in such pain. I have to take narcotics, spread over many hours, since narcotics make me nauseated.
