i was wondering if anyone has had luck with any brand of almond milks they have bought in the store for being starch free? or low enough starch to not get a reaction?
thanks

I don't really trust many packaged food products anymore.
I just make my own almond milk.
1 cup almonds (perferably soaked 12 hours) blended with 4 cups water, works great in a vitamix or high speed blender. Then just strain through a nylon "nut milk" bag ($8 on amazon.com) and you have some incredible fresh almond milk.
You can use the leftover pulp as almond flour. Some recipes ask that you dehydrate it first, but many raw food recipes out there also call for "wet" almond pulp.
And if you don't have time to soak 'em that is okay.
It's so much better than the stuff treated with sugar & perservtives sold in packages, but that is just my opinion!
xoox,

I'm now a KICK AS (and Kick IBD) success story!! After going low starch Paleo to heal my gut, I can now eat nearly all starches, grains & foods without inflammation, flare-ups, or pain. I used a modified SCD diet approach (minus dairy! plus cacao ♥). Cheers to healing & thriving again! I blog at http://www.forestandfauna.com/about/

Andrea's right, the homemade stuff tastes so much better and it's so much better for you.

I know what you mean. It really takes time. Soaking, peeling, blending, straining. And then you have a little bit of nut milk! Too bad we don't live near Andrea!
PS: I don't have a good blender, though. I bet a Vitamix or comparable blender makes it easier and better. It's definitely worth the trouble.

I've been using Whole Foods 365 organic almond milk for many months and have not reacted to it.
