You can find a copy of the low iodine diet under " radiation " at

http://www.thyca.org.

Sherbet is generally made with milk and so is not allowed, but many sorbets are

fine. Most of them are made with water, sugar and fruit, but some have salt

added, so always check the ingredients

list.

I will post separately a list of the sorbets I have come across, but I'm sure

you will have no problem finding an acceptable one in your supermarket.

Also, keep an eye out for Carageenan (a gelling agent derived from

seaweed, so not ok for LID) in some sorbets - I found some flavors had

it, some don't

Fascinating!

In England, sherbet is a white powder consisting of sodium bicarbonate,

citric acid, tartaric acid and sugar. It effervesces (fizzes) on the tongue

when you eat it. My kids love it.

I understand a sorbet to be a water-ice ie, ice cream without cream. Water,

fruit juice & sugar and not much else, suitable for acid fruits that would

curdle cream.

So what is US sherbet that is made with milk?
