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...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
