It looks like a great thing to try, even found some recipes for cakes/etc made with it. Amazon carries it for around $11/2 pounds. Any one know a cheaper place?

Be careful with coconut as the fat in it is delicate and goes rancid quickly so if you see it, make sure it's fresh...a lower price could mean the merchant is trying to get rid of it, it could be old. I've eaten rancid coconut and was violently ill from it (like food poisoning).

Coconut flour is usually defatted coconut flour. I've had some for a long time and it doesn't smell rancid. Vydor, I get it from netrition.com or simplycoconut.com. I think I paid around 8 bucks for 2 pounds. But it lasts a long, long time.
Also, in my experience, coconut oil is very stable. They used to use it in baked goods all the time because of it's stability before they decided saturated fats are evil. If you google "coconut oil shelf stability" you'll see it is pretty stable stuff.
Perhaps it was something else that caused your illness, like a bacteria or something?

Nancy, I think she is referring to eating rancid FRUIT not the flour or oil.

Bob's Red Mill has coconut flour, and you can buy it directly on their site too.

I understood that to be the case but the fruit (which the flour is made from) contains coconut oil which is a very stable oil. So it doesn't seem like something which could easily go rancid.

I have seen it... but did not get skick form it. The foul smell and taste tipped me off to toss it out.
