Today I started...Hi there I hope you can help me.<br /><br /> Today I started my low carb/high fat diet and decided I would use a variation of your recipe above as my breakfast smoothie. I made the smoothie using the following ingredients:<br /><br />200ml of Coconut milk<br />2 TBsp of Chai seed<br />30g of Spinach leaves<br /><br /> Before I had finished drinking my smoothie (I had drunk about half) I began experiencing very bad stomach pains, this was followed by nausea and loose bowel movements.<br /> <br />The coconut milk that I used was canned and the only ingredients listed on the can are: coconut extract (75%) & water.<br /><br />I assume the can probably has BPA but would that cause such a severe and sudden reaction?<br /><br />I am not accustomed to drinking coconut milk but did introduce coconut oil (organic, cold pressed, extra virgin) in to my diet a while ago with no adverse effects.<br /><br />I do not suffer from IBS or other digestive issues, as far as I am aware.<br /><br />Do you have any idea as to what the issue may be? Does my body need to get used to the coconut milk or high fat consumption? Would switching to almond milk help?<br /><br />I hope I don't have to cut coconut milk from my intended diet plan completely. I have made a batch of chai pudding using coconut milk but I am a bit afraid to eat it due to how awful I felt after the smoothie.<br /><br />Any advice would be much appreciated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418493517213876072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-50678013173970052372012-09-19T09:07:33.436-07:002012-09-19T09:07:33.436-07:00Great recipe!
