Hi Everyone,

Do anyone have a reaction to canola oil.? And what kind of oils are you all cooking with.? I had a terrible reaction the other day and don't know what it was from. I guess I need to keep a food diary for now on. I also had eaten a bag of rice chips BBQ--boy were they goooooood. It said gluten free on the bag but maybe i ate to much. Spent most of the night in the bathroom. Any info would be great. Appreciate everyones support

Hi, Joyce!

I can't be 100% sure, but I might react to canola oil. I've certainly reacted to a number of home-cooked meals that should have been gluten-free and contained canola oil. Come to think of it, I still have a bottle of canola oil and could drizzle some on Bush's baked beans to test it! I have never yet reacted to the beans, so if I have a reaction it should be from the oil. Now, I have switched to grapeseed oil when I want a flavorless oil. I use extra-virgin olive oil wherever I can, though!

Have you contacted the manufacturer of the rice chips to discuss potential cross-contamination?

Along those lines, I had a disheartening experience with Utz's potato chips yesterday. I wasn't paying very close attention to my three-and-a-half year old, and he got into the pantry and ate three snack-size bags of chips before I noticed. He was even nice, and shared some with his little brother! Later in the evening, I found the third bag in his bedroom and finished off the last few chips. Then I read the boys a story. Then I thought, why did my stomach just start aching mildly? Well, I decided I was imagining things and went to bed. This morning I had a new pimple on my chin (which suggests gluten or dairy consumption for me), my baby's stools were loose (but not particularly foul-smelling), and my older boy had diarrhea. I still didn't want to believe it was gluten-related, but then the baby couldn't stay asleep at naptime (a sign of gluten trouble for him). Sigh. I am still not sure what to think, since the chip manufacturer claims that their chips are as safe as any processed food could possibly be ("We've been telling people for five years that our chips are gluten-free, and no one has contradicted us yet!"). I suppose it could be a problem with the cottonseed oil they're fried in, maybe...but then why couldn't the baby stay asleep? I'm frustrated, because I really like this brand of potato chip. I don't eat them often at all, but I don't want to have to give them up forever!

Well, I'm sorry to have rambled on. I hope you can pin down the cause of your trouble quickly!

Good Luck

I've had reactions from canola before!!

People (even here) think I'm mistaken, but long ago I read about canola being grown in fallow wheat fields. I think it's a cross-contamination issue....

Anyway, we won't touch it!!

We use olive oil, corn oil, and sunflower oil (my favorite)--and butter.

I buy products made with cotton seed oil, safflower oil, and peanut oil with no problems.

Are you talking about lundenberg farm bbq rice chips? I used to eat those all the time and never reacted to those (though that doesn't mean much). Then I noticed that I seemed sensitive to corn, and being that those chips are mostly corn, I had to stop eating them..... Not that this information helps much, but I wouldn't place my bets on gluten being in those chips......

I stopped using Canola Oil because I read on mercola.com that when it is heated up, it becomes terrible for you. In fact, the only oil that is safe to use for high heat cooking is coconut oil. Olive oil is fantastic raw (virgin - unprocessed oil) but once you heat it, it can become carcinogenic or at the very least, lose its goodness.

Coconut oil, of course, tastes like coconuts, and on some things, is really distracting, like on sweetpotato fries. But it actually tastes really good for frying salmon.

Anyway, I heard Canola is bad for you, so even if it is not the culprit, it's not the best choice for cooking either. Good luck!

I use both canola oil and olive oil, reacting to neither. But everyone is different.

I use canola oil and olive oil and I have not had any problems either. Could it be a reaction to any other products that you are using?

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
