Yup, Nancy. And it's awesome in curry sauces of all kinds.
If you don't want the coconut flavor in your coffee, switch from half and half to whipping cream. It's a staple in my frig. I NEVER go without having at least one unopened quart there.
You could add it to your eggs, too, if you like them scrambled. Makes them fluffy and tender if you whip them well with the fork.
We were on vacation last week, and I had all manner of eggs in the morning. But I really missed my own scrambled with whipping cream!
So: more salt. It will help you hang on to more of your other electrolytes, as salt levels regulate the levels of the others.
More fat. And, if you are still having issues with constipation, after adding more salt, more fat, you can try magnesium citrate capsules. I take one in the morning and one at night. At night, when I'm not running around like a crazy person, it has the extra effect of being calming.
You can find it most easily online. What most supplement sections at drugstores, etc have is mag oxide, which isn't nearly as effective.
