So Delicious Coconut Milk?

I am going to a health food store tomorrow to see if they have the So Delicious Coconut Milk "ice cream" and yogurt I have been hearing about. The Coconut Milk ice cream is called Purely Decadent Vanilla. Is this the right product? Are the So Delicious yogurts also a good gluten-free, dairy free product as well? Is it only the vanilla that is gluten-free and delicious or are any of the flavors good for trying?

Thanks!

They are actually really good about labeling. The band around the top that you remove usually says gluten-free right on it.

There a few different flavors in the yogurt. I've tried the blueberry, vanilla, and strawberry. They're pretty good, just know that it's not going to be like regular yogurt.

I LOVE the 'ice cream'! I recently tried the vanilla, and it's my least favorite because it tasted too coconutty (although I still thought it was good)... LOL :lol:

I've had the cookie dough (YUM!), and peanut butter chocolate or something along those lines. Those are my two favorites. And it will say gluten-free on it, along with dairy free and soy free. They are great about their labeling.

Enjoy!!!

BTW, I just noticed in Kroger and Harris Teeter that they are carrying the choco and vanilla flavors of the ice cream, if you happen to have one of those stores nearby.

they also have a straight up milk (coconut based) in the dairy case. quite tasty - better for milk use (like cereal) than canned stuff. )

I've tried most of the flavors of yogurt - all are yummy!

I've never seen the milk in the dairy case. Is it new? Where have you found it so far? I'd like to give it a try, sounds really good.

I've gotten their milk at Whole Foods. I LOVE their yogurt and their ice cream too!

I discovered the milk at Whole Foods shortly after this thread. I love it, use it for everything. I get the regular kind, instead of the vanilla. Can't taste a difference in baking at all. Fabulous!

Do you think the coconut milk would be good for making lattes? Living Harvest just changed their hemp milk recipe from absolutely delicious to not-very-good (WHY, WHY, WHY???), so I'm looking for a new gluten/dairy/soy-free alternative. (The current favorite is Pacific Foods hazelnut milk, but I'm open to other options!)

If you are a super sensitive gluten intolerant, this product is not for you. Lots of celiac's aren't super sensitive, and are safe with this company....I was glutened by the milk, no doubt in my mind. If you are using the product with no problems, that's great.

The first 2 half gallons I had were fine. The 3rd one got me. Yes, I know it was the milk, there was nothing different in my life. I do not eat much in the line of processed foods, only my peanut butter...everything else is whole foods...chicken breast, cod, veggies, and fruits...no spices, other than salt (which is the same salt I have had for months), occasionally pepper (which I have had for a long time too) and my coffee. The milk was the culprit, along with the fact, the symptoms let up once I stopped the milk.

Just stay away if you are super sensitive. This product was tested with the EZ Gluten testing kit. It is good, especially if you can't have dairy, I will admit that. I just can't have it. May just give up coffee, without milk, it's just not the same. :(

It wouldn't hurt to try. I use it to make buttermilk, in baking, etc and cannot tell a difference in taste. I tried the hemp milk and couldn't get it down... I ended up throwing it away. :lol: That's just me though. I'm admittedly picky about some things. I bet the hazelnut milk would be really good, especially in a latte... yum! :)

I have never had an issue with the coconut milk, but to be fair, I'm 7 months pregnant and my sensitivity level has dropped. Normally, I'm pretty sensitive to trace amounts. So, we'll see what happens in a couple months... :ph34r:

I have heard others say this happened to them too. I was just as sick either way, but then I wasn't gluten free wayyyyyyyy back then. My baby will be 27 in Oct. :(

Would LOVE to know how you make buttermilk from it -- do you just add vinegar??

Yep, 1 T per cup, same as you normally would do. This also worked with rice milk, but it is much thinner. I've also made buttermilk with goat's milk, and I think because you're souring the milk anyway, you don't notice the tart taste associated with goat's milk in baking. Another option for you...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
