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?

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
