PsVolz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Has anyone else had issues with coconut milk? This is the second recipe I’ve made with 1 cup of coconut milk in it and my husband, son and I have all had stomach issues right after eating dinner. Bubbling gas and going to the bathroom several times. I have had my gallbladder removed many years ago so I thought that was maybe why I couldn’t tolerate it but neither could my son or husband. I think this is an ingredient we are going to have to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted October 5, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 5, 2018 Yep, that can happen in some people. No problem to just avoid coconut milk. Odd that it would be all three of you though. If you're unsure, stay off of it for a few days and then try it again. If the same thing happens, then you know!

Gudrun Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Was it canned coconut milk? I react to canned only. Someone told me that it could be a reaction to the coating on the inside of the can. I now only use packaged and stomach is just fine! Worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 If you all three reacted to it, it sounds like there was something in the meal that was a bit "off". Coconut milk does spoil, so maybe it had actually just gone bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does freak me out when I refrigerate a can to use the coconut cream and it’s always has a grey tint to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the Whole30 Butter Chicken and Salmon in a mushroom cream sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 A new can doesn't automatically mean there couldn't have been something wrong with it. I also have always been under the impression that you're not really supposed to put canned foods in the fridge in the can. Maybe try a different brand, cartoned, not from the fridge and see how you feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
