I am no expert, but a lot of curries (especially Thai) contain coconut / coconut milk. I'm afraid you're going to have to read the ingedient list on everything you buy :( especially Indian and Thai ready meals.
Here's a useful link for you:

Sorry to hear about the reaction. Are you sure it was coconut though. No other possibilities? If so you have to read the labels on food very carefully and be careful if you eat out.
I wish you well.

you have to read the labels unfortunately....it's not as simple as knowing certain foods, a lot of foods may have hidden ingredients that you might not think of, as thickeners or enhancers. In short, now that you've had a reaction, read EVERYTHING- the list of ingredients in everything you buy, and ask at restaurants. It's not easy, but it's the only way to avoid reactions.

Always check the labels and keep away from coconut ice.

Macaroons and German Chocolate cake for sure!
Also I think some Korma curries have coconut.

You will have to read the contents in all the food you buy.
