Powdered Coconut Milk - With No Milk Or Potato

I'm looking for powdered coconut milk as a substitute for regular powdered milk, both in recipes and to reconstitute to pour over cereal (for travel).

Vance is out as I'm allergic to potato (darn!)

I've looked a bit on an internet search but the ones I've seen there has some kind of milk product added, casein or even powdered cow's milk. I haven't yet looked in an Asian market.

Has anyone discovered a source for powdered coconut milk without casein or potato?

Thanks for your help.

I cook with this a lot. I am also CF and my sig. other is from Sri Lanka, where many dishes are coconut-based. I have a bunch of recipes that use it on my blog (linked to my profile here). Mostly they are shrimp and chicken dishes because he will not eat pork or beef (he is Buddhist.)

Oh yeah-- the kind we get is from Thailand and it comes in a big box that contains many small, individual packets. The brand is chao thai. It is safe.

Chao Thai also contains sodium caseinate, so it is NOT casein free.

But, I also have yet to find a coconut milk powder that doesn't have this ingredient. What I've found, however, is that even if you're casein intolerant, you may be able to tolerate it in the tiny amounts that are in an ingredient found in small amounts. Casein intolerance (except in very rare cases, known as cow-milk-sensitive enteropathy) is not like gluten intolerance/celiac disease in the risk of damage to the intestines, so, for some, there is a tolerance level of casein that is ok. No, I'm not saying this is for everyone, and other than trying it, I know of know way of "pre-determining" if it's ok. For me, it is.

Yep-- you are right! I looked up the last ingredient (sodium caseinate) and discovered it is milk-derived. And here I thought it was just a preservative chemical. Wow. Sorry (I plead chemical ignorance!) Well, at least the concentration is really low.

Tiffany, I suspect you are right about the trace amount thing-- as far as I know, I have never gotten zapped by this product. Interesting. Thanks for the post!

I thank you for your quick replies.

I have a sensitivity to casein, but can tolerate small amounts (such as occasional cheese once a month or so). I would think the tiny amount per serving would not cause a reaction for me.

I wanted it mostly for a two-week trip out of the country and wanted to be able to eat cereal in the hotel room for breakfast. So probably this will be fine. My reaction to casein is itchy skin, and it takes several days of ingesting casein to develop, so it would be an okay risk.

Lisa, your experience with the chao thai product is just what I wanted. If you can tolerate it, most likely I can. And it's good to have confirmation about it being gluten safe. That's the most important thing for me.

Thanks again

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I believe that what triggers acute Celiac Disease is vitamin D deficiency.  When we have stress it depletes our already low vitamin D, (40% to 60% of us in the industrial world are deficient) allowing the Celiac genes and the immune system to run amuck.  At 93 ng/ml 25(OH)D blood level, the last time I accidentally glutened myself, all that I got was a runny nose and burning eyes three days later.  It took 8 years, taking 10,000 IU a day to get to this blood level. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset So true.  If I am working on something I'm enjoying, I put off eating because after I eat I mostly feel worse.  Not so much anymore, but it's been a life long struggle with the anorexia.  M&M Peanuts is a good go-to snack.  For the dairy Kosher Dill pickles, brine fermented, not vinegar quick pickles (vinegar kills the bacteria), will repopulate your gut with Lactobacillus that exretes lactase, the reason adults are not lactose intolerant.  Also, grassfed milk has less omega 6 fatty acids than commercial grain fed dairy. Grassfed omega 6:3 ratio is 1:1; Organic milk 3:1; Commercial Dairy 5:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation.  The typical western diet is 14:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  A good reason not to eat gluten.  Here is a list: High omega-3/low omega-6 I find it interesting that the new diagnosis of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity was created 10 years after Norman Borlaug, "the father of the Green Revolution" and our modern grain crops, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      Welcome, @annamarie6655, I followed the AIP diet, too.  It allows the intestines time to heal.  I still avoid a lot of processed foods.  Once you get used to eating whole foods, they taste better than processed foods. I couldn't eat pepperoni without becoming ill.  Pepperoni is a processed meat that uses "meat glue" to hold its shape.  "Meat glue" is microbial transglutaminase produced by microbes in a lab.  Transglutaminase produced by microbes works the same in our bodies as tissue transglutaminase, which causes inflammation.  Remember those antibody blood tests, tTg IgA and tTg IgG?  They test for tissue transglutaminase produced by the body in response to gluten.  The microbial transglutaminase provokes the same response in our bodies as if exposed to gluten.  Best to avoid processed meat products like formed chicken nuggets, luncheon meats, formed hams, sausage, etc.   Best wishes.

      How to work through food paranoia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the tribe! Do discuss the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) with your dietician.  The AIP diet helps while the intestines are healing, lowering potential to develop other food sensitivities.  Be sure to discuss supplementing with vitamins and minerals.  Damaged intestines don't absorb essential nutrients well.  Supplementing while healing boosts absorption and provides vitamins needed for repair.
