Another Food Off Limits

[FruitEnthusiast]

Well, it's for sure, add another food to the list of things I can't tolerate that gives me the same reaction as gluten: coconut milk, even the canned kind with no additives. The symptoms are specific and unmistakable. I think it's been causing problems longer than I realized. In a way that's good news, just to know that.

The bummer is it probably means I'll still be sick like I have been for another month. That's how long it takes to recover each time I've tried to add a new food. Now that the tears have passed... I'm looking at this as a positive because it's another piece of the puzzle solved. It helps a lot to know you all can relate.

You may want to watch out for palm (palm oil) as well. My DS had a coconut allergy and after a few issues we asked his allergist if palm oil may also be an issue. After checking into it he said yes, some people hi react to coconut also react to palm (same botanical family and all). So if you find just going rid of coconut isn't enough it maybe another thing to look at

If I'm not mistaken, coconut is very high in sals.

Yes, coconut is very high in salicylates and almonds are too.
