More SNAFU – Coconut Milk gives me The Runs

So I tried out coconut milk (over some time now), and every time I ate it, I got "The Runs" (aka diarrhea).

Don't know what causes this (and don't particularly care at the moment), but according to the information I have, per 100 gram coconut (except coconut oil) there are several grams of "Pentosans" and "Hexosans", which are pentose/hexose-sugar-polymers (aka carbohydrates) and AFAIK can be classified as "fibers". And in addition coconuts contains a couple of of hundred milligrams of "poly uronic acids" per 100 gram.

Both pentosans/hexosans and poly uronic acids, so I would speculate, have the potential to interfere with the normal state of gastro-internal affairs – but nothing concrete is known, I'm afraid.

So more SNAFU, and one more food that I know does not agree with me… Oh well.

A pity, as it makes cooking more varied. But then again I never was a big fan of coconuts…
