Lucinda Lee Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 When I eat a handful flaked coconut I get an itchy throat. It isn't too uncomfortable, but it makes me wonder if coconut is a problem food. Should I stop having coconut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch55 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 You need to be careful with any potential allergic reaction... See a specialist... I'm not allergic to coconut, so I can't give you any answer you need right now http://www.wisegeekhealth.com/what-are-the-signs-of-an-allergic-reaction-to-coconut.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yeah, burning tongue, itchy throat, swelling lips etc can be indicative of Oral Allergy Syndrome. Have you noticed similar symtoms with coconut milk/oil?I'd be inclined to exclude it and stick with alternative fat sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
