But maybe the coconut milk yogurt is the way to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-products-safe-for-blw#post-451234 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 08:57:23 +0000 winniebee 451234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: yah he is supposed to stay away from all dairy until our next GI check up in a few months. </p> <p>@runsyellowlites: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-products-safe-for-blw#post-451221 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 08:48:39 +0000 runsyellowlites 451221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P eats coconut milk yogurt everyday since its the only way for her to get probiotics as every other one I found suitable for kids is cultured in either dairy or soy. :-/ We haven't seen any adverse issues &amp; her tummy has actually been doing better with the probiotic exposure. Considering the new recommendations on solids &amp; not having to delay anything (except honey) unless there's a family history of allergy, I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-products-safe-for-blw#post-451201 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 08:36:24 +0000 spaniellove 451201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not a tree nut, it's a fruit. That said, it is totally possible to be allergic to it and I would never recommend that anyone eat/feed it too often because I never noticed my coconut allergy until I drank coconut water for a few days in a row. (I also have a peanut/tree nut allergy.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-products-safe-for-blw#post-451188 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 07:55:08 +0000 Andrea 451188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: she was fine with regular cheese and yogurt actually. It's not as hard on their digestive system as plain milk so T might be fine as well. I would try the regular stuff first unless your doc says not to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-products-safe-for-blw#post-451185 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 07:51:06 +0000 winniebee 451185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Thx. I'll ask his doctor anyway. I'm looking for some milk/soy alternatives. What did you give to LO when she started eating more solids since she had the dairy issue? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-products-safe-for-blw#post-451181 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 07:42:13 +0000 Andrea 451181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not a nut but I would be careful with it and watch very closely for a reaction if you give it to T. As @brownie said, people are reporting more allergies to coconut recently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-products-safe-for-blw#post-451176 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 07:20:57 +0000 brownie 451176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave our son coconut yogurt. We alternated with rice yogurt so we didn't bombard his body with anything. Coconut is not usually considered a treenut but more and more people are allergic to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coconut-products-safe-for-blw#post-451165 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 06:42:07 +0000 winniebee 451165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As in coconut based yogurt, etc? It's not really a nut, right? </p>
