Coconut Milk

So the best I can find is full fat coconut cream it's called and lists coconut, water then stabulizer 466?

That's a European designation, don't know what it translates into on this side of the pond, so I checked it on Wikipedia.  It is carboxymethyl cellulose and in the description it says it is hypoallergenic, except for those with an intolerance to wheat.  So on that alone, I'd say it's a no-go.  Hopefully, someone who lives closer to you can give you an idea of what brands would be acceptable.  Helps if we know what country you are in.

Is that in a normal supermarket? Perhaps check out a health food shop or more speciality grocery store for a better option?

Just an FYI for other folks who are reading this -- the same ingredient is in Trader Joe's coconut cream.

Thanks all yes it's in the supermarket and in the health food shops, I am in NZ! So would it be a no go?

On the Celiac.com website, carboxymethyl cellulose is listed as a SAFE ingredient. They say it does not contain gluten.
