If you're stuck and don't need more than a couple of tablespoons of cream it might work to just leave a can of coconut milk in the fridge for a few hours (don't shake it before opening!) and separate the cream that has risen to the top. I'm not sure how much cream you'll get though.Ok
Took a quick peek at tesco online and not many are cream ? they do their own cream one but mostly coconut milk comes up when searched
As you shared recipe thought you might have one you used.Thanku

you can get powdered coconut cream and just make it up with water.
This is the one I use
http://www.tesco.com/groceries/prod...3uzajBODSlusCbiTZhfb8aAgt08P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds
(see instructions on the link for making it up)
It has maltodextrin in it - but it has never spiked me, or had any negative effect on my bg, presumably because it is always buried in other VLC food.
Handy to have around. You can blend it with differing amounts of water to create co milk, or co cream, or you can just tip the powder into homemade curries and it dissolves in the curry juice, adding flavour and thickening it a teeny bit.

I hope you feel better soon, @s.sollis - thinking about you & sending big hugs.Last two days upset tummy. Have reduced my insulin like my DS said but still having hypos all over the place. So has been mostly water, couple dry crackers, melon. Then in between all that lucazade, love heart sweets, fruit pastilles (not all at once) and toast or biscuits. Feel rubbish and gonna have to send the husband out for more hypo treatment, as running low now.
Hopefully back on track when my insides decide to start working again.

I'm having a bit of a rethink on almond flour, which I had embraced enthusiastically up until now...Weird Science....me too, that recipe sounds so good.

I have arthritis and have shared a couple of times on here that over the past couple of months it has become pretty bad. I was browsing online yesterday and came across an article that suggested the PUFAs (polyunsaturated fats) in almond flour can increase inflammation and slow the metabolism, thus causing weight gain (which I need like a hole in the head!!). Browsing a bit further I found quite a lot of anecdotal evidence that people were suffering increased joint/arthritis pain when they ate nuts/gluten-free products.
I know this is a contentious issue and there are going to be conflicting views. I've tried limiting or eliminating dairy and choosing lacto-free, but that hasn't helped. So maybe it's time to try limiting or eliminating nuts and gluten-free...? My diet is the only thing that has changed over the past couple of months, so it appears that something I'm eating (or not eating?) is causing this horrible pain.
Strangely, my husband is currently also suffering the worst attack of gout he has ever experienced. He does get it from time to time, but it has never been this bad before.
Does anyone have any ideas/comments/suggestions they would like to share?

I was tested for intolerances a few years back
- almonds were one of mine
At the time, I just shrugged because I didn't eat them much, and was symptom free when I did. (I was also intolerant of bites from farm building mites, whatever they are, and dismissed that with equal disinterest).
However, I remember the almond intolerance every time I reach for almond flour, and try to only do LC baking in an emergency*.
* definition of emergency = unable to live another minute without a LC mug cake or slice of stracciatella.

thank you I will try this out and let you know how it turns out. ....You're not a pest!
Chocolate chia pudding couldn't be easier (and it's really nice!); as well as being helpful for those suffering from diabetes, chia seeds are alleged to reduce blood pressure, provide easy-to-assimilate fibre and regulate digestion, provide a good source of antioxidants, Omega3 and protein, and aid in weight loss. There are some side effects, too, however, so you might want to do some online research beforehand.
To make the pudding, you simply mix together 125ml single cream, 125ml coconut cream, 3 tbsp chia seeds, (available on the internet), 2 tbsp cocoa powder and sweetener to taste (I use 2 tbsp Monin sugar-free caramel syrup, also available on the 'net), and leave it the fridge overnight. I buy the frozen black cherries from Tesco and have 8-10 of those with 2 tbsp of chia pudding - delicious! The pudding will keep well in the fridge for 4-5 days (if you can avoid eating it all beforehand!).
I hope this helps.
Mmmm, I've just cobbled together a quick and very yummy pudding/snack for the summer: Chop up some fresh rhubarb and cook it in the oven in a covered dish at about 160o for 45 minutes - no water, just a little stevia or whatever you use as a sweetener. Take it out to cool, and then mix a couple of spoonfuls of the rhubarb into some Coyo natural yoghurt.
It's goooooooooooooooooooooood...
(And the numbers are: 523 cals and 5.6g carbs for a 250g pot of Coyo and 200g of rhubarb, which would probably make 4 servings at 131 cals/1.4g carbs each.)
A pud that's low-carb, gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free - what's not to like?

Seriously? 4 servings? We need to talk. You ain't eating enough! Lol
No, really, just because i eat like a horse is no reason to give all of you saddlebags like mine...
Does sound lovely. Rhubarb is a fave, and i used to love rhubyogs
Well, I was trying to appear abstemious! I could probably eat the lot......
Actually, though, having slurped my way through some this afternoon, I can confirm that it doesn't take much to satisfy. I started with half a pot of Coyo, and I only ate half of it - the yoghurt itself is quite rich, and the tartness of the rhubarb adds a further dimension to that. Maybe if I was hungry and had it for breakfast I'd scoff a whole pot, but if I had it as a pudding I would only want a little...
B: Coffee & lacto-free cream (I don't really care if it has any lactose now - I've simply started to get a taste for it!)
L: Cold chicken, cheese; clotted cream & black cherries on a Swedish breakfast bun - yeugh!!! Rest of the buns now in the bin...(or maybe in the magpies)
D (will be): Courgetti carbonara (OK, courgetti - this is your Last Chance - if you don't shape up this time you're off the squad!)
S: Coyo with stewed rhubarb - yummmmm!
