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!

When I cook I use extra virgin olive oil with no reaction!!

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?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
