Coconut milk

[Talula]

I would like to share the fact that coconut milk/water straight from a fresh young thai coconut seems to relieve urethral burning to some extent. If you live in a bigger city, or near one, you can usually get them at an asian market for just over dollar a piece. Since they don't go bad very fast, you can buy quite a few at a time. You can also find them at health food stores, although they usually cost a lot more for the same exact thing. I usually cut the top point off with a serated knife and then with a short thicker knife hammer a small triangle into the top, push it in with the tip, and then turn it upside down in a jar/cup. You can also cut it open and scrape the meat out and use it in smoothies, pies, whatever. It's high in fat, but I have heard Martha Stewart say the fat in fresh coconut is not bad for you because it has so many good things in it, and I agree. Just wanted to share, but you know, be careful, cause different foods affect people with IC differently.
