Sensitivity To "oil" ?

OK, so a week or so ago I made homemade corn chips only ate a few as I was going to take them to work with me, used cut up corn tortillas deep fried in canola oil.... later had all the usual suspected symptoms on a "minor" scale. But as they did not store well at all was unable to eat the rest.

Bought a bag of fritos while shopping the other day and had "issues".....

Now call me stupid and smack me up side the head..... last night I made taco's for supper, used the store bought hard shell corn tortilla's and guess what, once more I feel like @#$%^&*

Now I am assuming oil is the suspect, its not the same feeling I get when I ingest gluten but it is simular. However I can eat corn without issues in other meals.....

anyone have an opinion on this? I am going with oil otherwise.

I get sick from Fritos and felt ill during a day I ate taco shells. Are you using gluten-free products? Also, when I was trying to find gluten-free cornmeal for cooking I had a terrible time locating some since cross-contamination is a big issue. So, I assume that companies do not go as far as I did and use cornmeal regardless of cross-contamination issues. I personally have tried to stay away from processed food made from cornmeal because of this. This could be why eating whole corn leaves you feeling fine while cornmeal leaves you feeling bad. Good luck, Loco_Ladi.

Is it possible that it is the corn? Maybe when it is ground up you digest it more, verses eating it whole. I know allot of people when they eat corn on the cob, out of the can, etc. that they don't really digest it well. And it will come out the "bottom" end pretty much intact.

Just a thought.

Actually we do digest the kernel of the corn, it's just the yellow outer hull that slips off and is such a good 'tracer' of transit time.

This depends on the person. For some of us the entire kernal will be present, insides and all.

On the original question, corn has a very high risk of CC, not just in the manufacturing process but also in the bins the dried corn is stored in and in the milling. I have been CC so many times by corn in chips and baked goods that I now won't touch it. It is IMHO just as much of a risk as oats. I don't usually mention it cause folks think I am a little overboard on the issue of processed food anyway. The less the better. Especially at first.

I guess you will just have to keep track of what you eat & how you react.

I have problems with fried or rich foods generally, but that's me. How are you feeling these days after having something high in fat other than fried corn products? Can you tell what kind of oil the storebought products had been fried in?

I ran across a list from a medical school a while ago that said that celiacs shouldn't use canola oil. However, it didn't say why. I posted here and no one really knew why the school would say that. Anyway, you can monitor how you react to oil and in particular canola.

It's so strange...I react to ALL oils. If anything even has a drop of oil in the ingredients..I react. It's so odd. I'd love to hear if you've experienced more with oil, and I'd love to hear anyone else's perspective on issues with oil...because that's not really a common allergy.

I have bad reactions to canola oil and I cannot eat fried foods either. I usually use safflower or sunflower oil in pancake batter and just "dry fry" them on a non-stick skillet.

I sure hope you can figure out what is ailing you.

I did use canola oil for my homemade chips, as recommended by the living gluten free for dummies book (thats where I got the recipe for them)

The "frito's" says it uses corn oil

the Taco shells used "hydrogenated soybean oil"

I do realize corn is also a key ingredient in all three however I eat alot of corn, next to peas it would be my favorite veggie and I have not yet had a problem with "straight corn" thats why I am leaning towards the oils

I also do not use much other than olive oil or butter when cooking and that is in limited quanities and since this "oil" issue popped up I have stopped using that as well.

I have had problems with store bought tostada shells but have no trouble with corn tortilla's. I also think the oil is the culprit. I cook the tortillas on a smoking hot skillet with no oil and I'm ok.

I checked the shells, they are fried in cottonseed or corn oil. I think cottonseed seed oil is paint thinner, or is it linseed oil? Anyway, they had to go, cottonseed oil is not good.

I usually don't have problems with oils in moderation.

I just had a thought. Maybe your gall bladder is starting to have some issues and isn't producing enough bile to help break down the oils....

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
