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....

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
