It does have a slight coconut smell and a hint of coconut taste. It tastes very smooth and is really white. It sure beats the spectrum (it was fully processed/refined) I had bought without knowing better. Big difference! I am going to try and melt some and put it on popcorn with some salt. I'll let you know what I think of it.

I tried it on popcorn with some salt and everyone liked it! :D

Hi Alex :)

 

A couple of things--it's not unusual for us to find we are intolerant to other foods once we go gluten-free. Possible reasons are a leaky gut, or that the intolerance was there all along, but taking the biggest offender (gluten) away causes it to "suddenly" become a problem. Some of these intolerances may be temporary--like lactose. Once the villi heal, many are able to consume it again with no problems.

 

My personal opinion, and from some experience--when you determine that you are intolerant to a particular food, stay away from it completely for at leat 6 months--then if you want, try some again. It's just one of the many things that are different for each of us ;)

 

I happen to be intolerant to coconut. It didn't become apparant until I'd been gluten-free for several months. With coconut, I get cramping, stomach pain, and nausea. I find it's pretty easy to stay away from--but something to watch out for are water filters. Lots of them use charcoal made with coconut hulls. I found this out the hard way!

 

Good for you keeping a food diary! :D It helps out so much in the beginning with all this.

When I became gluten free about 7 months ago, it seemed like I was okay with coconut.  About 2 weeks ago, when I have any coconut product (manna, oil, flour) I feel flush, my stomach gets upset, my neck gets tight and my glands swell. I haven't tried coconut milk since this has started.

I am on the Paleo diet which has helped me tremendously.  So now I have been sticking with just almond flour if I need to bake. That doesn't seem to give me any problems so far, thank goodness! Has anyone tried other flours with good results?

It seems different things are allowed on different versions of paleo diet.  Some flours I think are allowed on some versions - arrowroot, tapioca, plantain, chestnut,  and tiger nut. 

 

edit - some allow buckwheat, if I remember right

      Hi Ya All, Dr. just. Told me I have one celiac marker. I have been taking multiple blood test for thin Dr for years. Why couldn’t he have mentioned this! Anyway my functional med practitioner

      Not to eat or drink certain ones of what? Do you know what it is specifically you are trying to avoid when you eat? I kind of get the feeling you don't really understand much of this celiac thing.

      Hi Ya , yes I have access to my records. Now if I only knew what I was looking for?? But for me this not important. I already know not to eat or drink certain ones. And I also push the packet on occasionally. Whatnisnto be learned? What's the value to be learned?

      Hello, Jeff and yes, PTL! The word "marker" is typically used in connection with gene testing but gene testing is not usually where testing for celiac disease starts. It usually starts with blood work looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. The most popular antibody test ordered by doctors is the tTG-IGA test but there are others. Here is an overview: Do you have access to your medical record/test results online? What is your next step with this? I assume you are not yet eating gluten free.

      Is tTG 9 normal after 4 months gluten-free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @lizzie42, I have dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks when I am exposed to foods high in iodine.  Iodine can cause dermatitis herpetiformis to flair up badly.  So I avoid high iodine foods like dairy products, crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster, shellfish), Eggs, and iodized table salt.  Spinach,  potatoes, kale, and kelp are high in iodine, too. The antibodies that cause dermatitis herpetiformis are tTg 3 IgA.  The tests for Celiac Disease measure tTg 2 IgA antibodies.  The dermatitis herpetiformis tTg3 antibodies can hang around for two years or more and become more active when exposed to iodine without having gluten present.  Dermatitis Herpetiformis is pressure sensitive and...

      How to work through food paranoia

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
