Never tried coconuts during cycle, but any strong scent may be a trigger for some - and I guess it includes strong scent of coconut.

Note hat although the mechanism behind CH seems to be very similar in different people, but the triggers are often individual. This, I think is also the reason why some people often react differently to treatments.

I use Coconut cream or milk when making a curry. Has never
triggered a CH in me. After shave is no no for me when in a
cycle. Also my wife has to stop wearing perfume.

If I eat white bread it triggers them, if I eat wholemeal all the time no headaches. Took 10 years to pinpoint it though. Happy days here

Not coconuts for me. Alcohol is a massive trigger for me. Haven't had a drink in 18 years. Don't really miss it.

I guess if you find a trigger for you, avoid it.
