Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Kate- My kids can not tolerate coconut due to sulfites in it. You have to buy a fresh coconut and grate it yourself in order for it not to have sulfites. You may want to try this and see if your daughter reacts differently. -Suzanne mrshoho1998 kmhohl@...> wrote: Hi everyone - My daughter has been on SCD for two years. Today I made muffins made from coconut flour and about half hour later she became very sensory seeking, bouncing off the walls, pushing herself into things, and scripting a lot. Is it possible that this is die-off, since coconut has anti-viral properties? Or is it more likely that she can't tolerate it? Just wondering if anyone else has seen this reaction to the coconut.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Not all shredded coconut contains sulfites. The brand I buy at Whole Foods, e.g., does not. It's " Let's Do Organic " unsweetened coconut. Debbie >>> suzannewolcoff@... 02/06/06 11:00 AM >>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Debbie- I was told by a sulfite expert that all coconut that is dried will contain some sulfites, so if you are really sensitive to them you should use fresh coconut. I tried organic coconut that said it did not contain sulfites, but it still caused problems for us. -Suzanne Debra Comer mgbdrc@...> wrote: Not all shredded coconut contains sulfites.
