I was unable to find the ingredients list for "non equals dairy creamer", but I have found that I get (ahem!)..."shooting diarrhea" from Coffee-Mate. I finally read about the ingredients, and the "dipotassium phosphate", used to prevent clumping (really...in liquid form??) can cause diarrhea. Coffee has an issue with promoting diarrhea in some consumers, due to stimulating a certain area of the gut. I have never had the issue with regular coffee, instant coffee, or French Press or other "strong" coffees of any brand, unless I have used Coffee-Mate.

Nestle, the maker of Coffee-Mate, also make "Natural Bliss"--with only milk, cream, sugar and "natural flavors"--only four ingredients, and all are pronounceable to readers of the English language. I have never had any problems with that product. In fact, often I make my own creamer with the same ingredients--there are recipes all over the web to do so.

What makes me wonder about Nestle is why they "need" the dipotassium phosphate to "prevent clumping" in one product but not the other. I personally think it is a cheap filler to help fill their bottles faster. Natural Bliss costs more, so that seems like a fair assessment to me--they add cheaper fillers to keep their costs down.

Can you make ice cream using coffee creamer?

You can use a little of it for flavor. But non-dairy creamer is just that, non dairy. The fat in milk that you're avoiding by using creamer is whats vital to creating a creamy, smooth icecream. I would recomend only using creamer as a flavor enhancer, not the entire base.


What are the health risks using non dairy creamer?

The first ingredient in most non-dairy creamers is water, then sugar, then palm oil. There is 2% or less of a milk derivative (not milk) so my thinking is that these products do not need to be refrigerated. I have left these products out for days at a time and never gotten sick. I did have a roommate who claimed she got diarrhea from it, but she was also changing to a vegan diet at the time. I do use up my creamer fairly quickly, so that might also be a contributor as to why my "non-dairy" (keyword??) creamer had never gone bad.
