Can anyone think of why every time I drink coconut water I get cramps and a headache? The kinds I have purchased don't have anything added. It's just coconut water. I've tried it multiple times now, different brands, and not feeling well afterward.

Well, I can't be sure but, you're probably sensitive to coconut??

Have you done IgG food sensitivity or IgE food allergy test?

It's a sign that you should remove it from your diet.

Definitely your body doesn't like it. Maybe you should be checked for it, however...but it seems as though you've proven it's not for you.

I love it and I haven't had any weird side effect from it. Perhaps you have an allergy or intolerance.

yeah I drink coconut almond milk without any issues. i wouldn't relate this to UC, but more to what others are saying, an intolerance.

I do very well w/ it, but.

For Me and my past, At certain times could not  handle any liquid except room temp water & juice cut by water 50 %.

Sounds like an intolerance to me.

I cannot have anything coconut. If I do I get very bad headaches, stomach cramps, and liquid diarrhea...

I cannot drink the stuff either. I can't have anything coconut.

I could be way off here and please correct me if I am, but recently I started looking into aloe Vera juice since I "juice" and wanted to see what else would be beneficial to mix with it besides almond milk. Well, reading into the aloe Vera juice I read that it's pretty high in electrolytes, which are normally good to balance, that's also a component of coconut water if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, as I got further I'm I vaguely remember seeing that you can have too much electrolytes and throw your balance off. Maybe that's a cause?

Again, I could be pulling this right out of my ass but it might be worth while to check.
