I have trouble with fat in general. It seems that my intestines are damaged enough that anything hard to digest flares them up. Hopefully this will go away as I heal.

I have found that cold pressed Macadamia oil is easily digested and doesn't have any after taste.

To my knowledge, I do better with them than without. I think it's worth considering the quality of the oils you use though. Sunflower oil is not something I'd make regular use of, if ever. Olive oil is good stuff if you buy a quality product, and refrigerate it. For the brand, I'm suspicious of most of the stuff out there. You basically get what you pay for - at least most of the time. As I understand it, the type of olive oil to get is the stuff that says first cold press. I think that's normally referred to as "extra extra virgin", or something like that. Make certain it originates from Italy or France, etc, and not simply imported from there. It should also have an expiration date stamped on it. The richer/darker the color, the better it is supposed to be, though not proof of quality. It should be in dark/tinted glass, or in a can. A plastic bottle is not used for hi grade stuff, since oil and plastic react to each other.

I believe there's a recent thread about olive oil quality, providing some links to some excellent, detailed info on the subject. It's worth a read if you can dig it up.

Ah! Just the sort of thing I was hoping to see. Perhaps you'd have something useful to add to this thread:

I'm about to try the MacNut brand, which most claim to be the best quality of the ones I've found. There's been a lot of recent interest in macadamia oil, and I wonder if it's mostly hype.

Yes, I think I'm having trouble with oils. I've suspected this for a while. The other day I could have sworn I got gluten, but what I ate should not have had gluten. It did have a ton of olive oil though. It gave me major gas, but few of my regular gluten symptoms. I got my food intolerance test results and it said I have no reaction to olives though. So, I don't get it. My doctor did say that fats are harder to digest, so maybe that's the issue. ???

You might try coconut oil. It's a little different from other oils and my understanding is it's digested differently.

If you are newly diagnosed your gallbladder may still be a bit impaired and having a hard time with oils. You may need to keep oily and fried and fatty food to a minimum for a bit of time. If an oil or another food seems to bother you drop it from your diet for a while then try again in a bit with small amounts. Some oils like seseame oil need to be refrigerated also so make sure you do so if indictated. Others have given some great suggestions for different oils to try so I don't have anything to add other than to suggest buying the smallest bottle of the best kind whatever it is at first. Watch your flash points also when using a new oil many smoke and burn at a lower temp than just good old 'vegetable' oils

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
