Coconut milk allergy?

Questions about: Coconut water, Coconut milk and Coconut oil?

  • Coconut water: I'm getting some sort of rash I've never had before. And am new to drinking coconut water. What's the relationship between the two? I just read where the water needs to be drank right after opening the coconut or within 24 hours. I was not doing that. I was buying 1 liter from a nearby place and drinking it over a 3-5 day span. Could this be the problem? Or are some people just allergic to coconut water? ALSO: Coconut milk: I just made some homemade milk from the coco meat. How many days will that last without going bad as I'm mixing it in my morning smoothie and made enough for about 3 days? ALSO: Coconut oil: I bought some oil and am drinking a little bit of it. What's the health benefits / differences between the oil and water? Or milk for that matter. Thank you! This rash is not good! Hopefully it's not from the coconut water...

    Hi. I am from india and we regularly use cocunut products! 1) Cocunut water-> Great body Cooler, Skin soother, can be used as blood plasma substitute, healthy drink 2) Cocunut oil -> Magically gets rid of rashes(apply on rashes at night and check it the morning), high cholestrol but great taste, great for healthy hair Instead of drinking coconut oil, drink olive oil-> Great in monsacchurated fat or the good fat! Cocunut milk can be used with any desserts and it will last for a week in fridge!

Get yourself tested for Coconut allergy. It's not a common allergy as many people who are allergic to coconut are not allergic to other types of nuts. My wife is allergic to it and she is not bothered by any other types of nuts. But a post-exposure, itchy rash (hives) are her symptom of coming in contact with coconut.

Well.. okay.. Coconut milk.. you drink it fresh if you have a fresh coconut.. but the stuff you buy in the cartons are usually pasterized and are more like a juice. Coconut milk/water is the same thing. I think the water just means there is no milk fat in it. Or that they have added water. You can buy coconut milk skim or whole. Coconut oil is the coconut fat processed like margarine. I guess you can buy the oil in a drinkable form as well as actual oil (the stuff where I live comes spreadable) Coconut oil is good for you because it is high in good fats. Which means it helps to unclog arteries. However, you shouldn't have more than a tsp a day. Its still high in fat and calories. (You can also cook with it like any other oil.) Juice/coconut milk from a store will last about a week.. yours may go bad sooner, but 3 days will be fine, unless you notice a bad odor. PS: you might not want to use it until you find out if you are allergic.
