Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 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. - NYC mmarsee47031 wrote: > i have read so many things lately i though i read you could eat > sherbert but i can't remember where i seen it. does anyone know for > sure. i had to call the hospital today to remind them to send me the > list of foods i can and can't eat. thanks for any help. tonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 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?
