Great question!
I read through all of the sections that Paul Pitchford mentions "coconut" in his book "Healing with Whole Foods". I have come to the conclusion that when he says coconut he is talking about using the coconut meat. This is due to the high saturated fat content in coconut meat (where we get coconut oil) which can moisten the intestines.
I hope that helps!

Thank you! This really helps so much! Where I live, a lot of coconuts grow here. So when I saw "coconut," I thought "Yeepee! My tummy is gonna be happy!" lol. Keep up the good work @casper0-0

Thank you! I'm happy to help.
Please go easy on the coconuts, they are tasty and easy to over indulge in.
With any of these foods, adding in a little at a time to see how your body reacts is the best way to go. Our stomachs can be very fickle!

I have had coconut meat before, my body LOVES it. There may be some things that I haven't had yet like coconut sugar, coconut oil, coconut butter, coconut flour, and coconut vinegar. I used to have no idea how much you could make out of coconuts. :O
