Hello, my abdominal pain starts after having coconut, what is the reason? I have noticed it few times. Should I avoid eating coconut? Please help me in understanding.

@sumana If you feel sick after eating full-fat coconut milk or snacking on fresh coconut meat, that could be because the high fat content in coconuts is upsetting your stomach. You could also have fructose intolerance, gallbladder issues or irritable bowel syndrome. Coconut milk is typically available in two different forms. There's canned coconut milk, intended for cooking, and refrigerated coconut milk, used as a beverage. Coconut beverages are increasingly popular as a tree-nut-free vegan alternative to dairy milk. You can use whipped coconut cream as a vegan dessert topping. Additives in refrigerated coconut milk may affect your digestive system due to thickening and gelling agents that can cause gas, bloating and diarrhea. Sugar alcohols like sorbitol, mannitol, lactitol, isomalt and maltitol, used for sweetening, can cause bloating and diarrhea
