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...

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
