Guest guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 And if you are dealing with high yeast levels, which many in the ASD spectrum and with GI issues are, then coconut yogurt isn’t such a good choice until later on in the healing journey.Why is that? Because of too much die off? Because I thought that coconut milkand oil was good for yeast? Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Then there's the fiber content to coconut, which can be problematic for some individuals. Coconut is fairly high in fiber, just as it is fairly high in sugar. Numbers for fiber is a point or two above the sugar content per serving. If your digestion has trouble breaking down the fiber content, you end up feeding the gut microorganisms more than they deserve, which defeats the probiotic benefits.....You have to strain the coconut milk before making yogurt though, right? It doesn't seem like there'd be much fiber left in the milk after that. Or would there be?

But you do this with nut milk yogurt, too. > Which brings up another question, how much of the sugar is consumed during fermentation? I found myself wondering if the extra sugar content doesn't defeat the antifungal properties.... > > Then there's the fiber content to coconut, which can be problematic for some individuals.

But the milk is essentially fat plus water and natural sugars, etc. No fiber, as far as I would think. It's the fat of the shredded coconut. Shredded coconut is not defatted first the way the flour is. Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
