Creamed coconut made me feel sick 🤢


(Lucy) #1

I bought a nice big organic jar of 100% creamed coconut and was really excited about putting it in my coffee! I had one yesterday about midday and was full until dinner (I’m trying out OMAD Keto) - but I also felt very very SICK :nauseated_face: all day! Maybe I over did it? Has anyone else had this?

Has anyone got a simple bulletproof coffee recipe to fill you up until dinner time?

Any help appreciated :smiley:

Some people find coconut products hit their digestive system hard. If you really want to incude it in your diet, try very small doses so that your body can learn how to process it. But just remember that coconut is not necessary for weight loss and good health.

You can substitute butter for CO in your BPC if you really want fat in your coffee.

I am one of those people. I can use coconut products in cooking but if I eat it straight I have terrible cramps as it travels through my intestines until I have diarrhea. I have to be super careful with it. I like the taste a lot.

I find coconut cream or milk in coffee to be disgusting. I generally take 2 TBSP coconut oil and 1 TBSP butter in my 5 cups of morning coffee, That’s 370 Kcal right there, while I’m eating bacon, eggs, bell peppers and mushrooms.
I never tried egg coffee…https://www.homegrounds.co/egg-coffee-recipes/

I add butter to my morning coffee (when not fasting), HWC, stevia and a scoop of collagen powder. I don’t care much for the taste of coconut so rarely cook with it unless in Thai food - I’m ok with that.

That holds me until lunch. After that I only add a small splash of HWC to my coffee and stevia or Truvia.

I don’t like coffee… so I just drink plain green tea and my water and herbal tea at night, (plain also).

I get my Coconut oil in my Fat Bombs (which I love). I make sure I have some made in the freezer all the time, so they are my weakness/addiction, but Keto so all good =)

Creamed coconut is NOT what people put in coffee for ‘fatty/bulletproof coffee’ it’s the oil that’s used. As a cream replacement, coconut cream can work, some people use it - I use it in smoothies myself - but it does have more carbs than HWC (16g per cup) and also has veg protein. Different brands can vary in quality - some have nasty preservatives.

Coconut butter is also not used in coffee, as it has carbs - and contains coconut flesh, etc.

Coconut oil however, is wonderful in my experience. It’s 100% fat.

I prefer the extra virgin kind for my coffee, it has a sweet taste - but you can also use refined (which is wonderful for cooking and deep frying). I’ve always used a tblsp of it in my coffee with no problems.

However, the MCT oil (refined coconut oil that has two specific kinds of coconut fat extracted) is something I’ve stayed away from, as many people report GI upset from just a teaspoon of it.

Regular Coconut oil has about 60% MCTs, and 30% of the kind that are extracted into isolated MCT oil. The whole form of Coconut oil is way more complex and is a natural food, compared to the isolated MCT oil.

I decided, pre-keto, that I was going to add organic coconut cream to my coffee in the morning. It was the same one Dr. Mercola uses, Thai something or other, in a can.

It made me feel sick and gave me headaches. I ended up giving the cans away. Tasted great but my body hated it.
