So Deliciuos Coconut Milk


GFreeMO

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone uses So Delicious Coconut Milk. I was thinking of buying some. They seem like a very allergy friendly company. How is it? Does it taste good with cereal or in coffee? Should I try plain or vanilla?

Thanks!

I've had it. Didn't have any problems with it (their ice cream makes me very sick for some reason, but not the milk). My only complaint is that it just tasted like water, thick white water. I had the plain flavor, and I believe it was unsweetened. Perhaps that's normal for coconut milk, I have no idea. But I was expecting a lovely mild coconut flavor, and it was like thick water. :(

It's just about all I use now! My husband eats it daily on gluten-free cereal and I use it for baking and cooking too. I like the "original" the best because it has a more neutral taste for things like mashed potatoes or soups. I will also get the unsweetened if they are out of the original. The vanilla is too sweet for me and obviously vanilla when used in cooking or baked goods. It's okay on cereal or in coffee though. Give them all a try to decide which you like best.

I hated the Silk Coconut Milk. Ugh.

Is So Delicious better than that?

Maybe I expected a coconut hint in the flavor...it was thick and tasteless to me.

I'll have to see if I can find that brand.

It does not have a strong coconut flavor if that is what you are wanting. I like it because it doesn't make everything coconut flavored. If I want a coconut flavor I will use canned coocnut instead (which still is barely noticeable in baked goods such as cornbread). If you ar elooking for somethign in betweent he canned coocnut milk flavor and the coconut "beverage" flavor you could try mixing them together so you get something in between.

I love this milk! It tastes great with cereal and the vanilla one is really good in coffee. Give it a try. I really like it as a milk alternative.

I love the creamers but I can't get them anymore. I use more than a "serving" in my coffee and the calories add up the way I Over-use it! :P

Well, I thought that this was going to be a great milk alternative for me but it has not been agreeing with me. I can't stay out of the bathroom with it. I read that it can have a big laxative effect in some people. Oh well, back to making rice milk.

We like the vanilla one.

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
