Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Foods that include what I will call thickeners and slickeners -- stuff we put in gravies, sauces, and creamy desserts to make them smooth and make them stick together, stuff such as corn starch and gelatin -- are illegal on our diet. Rennet, a protease enzyme, is advertised to do the job that the illegal stuff does, but aside from the fact that the commercially available rennet contains corn starch, has anyone had any luck with it? I tried the one legal slickener/thickener, the Indian tuber that was mentioned as permissable in BTVC; but it took tons of it to thicken creamy milk! Any suggestions? My pancreas tolerates fermented dairy, fruit and soaked, sun-dried nuts the best. I would like to find ways of *dressing up* the fermented dairy into custards without cooking it with eggs and losing the enzymes that my pancreas has to have.
