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...

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
