Hmmm...makes me wonder if there's any carrageenan in the shakes they serve at fast food restaurants.  I have Crohn's Disease (an inflammatory bowel disorder), and I've noticed that whenever I have a fast-food shake (even Jack in the Box, where they boast about having "real" shakes,) I start to feel run-down almost immediately, and within a few hours I've got diarrhea so bad you'd think the shake was spiked with Ex-Lax.

 

If I have more than two in the same week, I'll usually start having chronic problems with my Crohn's -- abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas, bloating, fistulae, the whole nine yards.

 

I still buy store-bought ice cream from time to time, and that doesn't seem to bother me much in moderation, but I've started making my own homemade ice cream more and more often lately -- I don't know if it's any healthier than storebought, but goddamn is it ever tasty!
