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 only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes! P.S.  interesting reading: Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
