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

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
