Olive Oil?

so as many of you know ive been on a restricted diet for quite some time - had to rotate foods back and forth - had some success - some remission of symptoms, but many relapses as well. throughout this entire time the only food that i have been consistently consuming is olive oil...i cook everything with it and usually put it on all my food. is there any possibility i could be reacting to olive oil and it is somehow preventing me from healing? i know it is gluten free so its not that. also there are no proteins in oil so it wouldnt really be an allergic reaction. id be curious to get some feedback - im eliminating it for a few days to see how I feel and will just steam or boil all my food

Even if you abstain from all your known allergens, chronic gut bug infections (parasites, pathogenic bacteria and candida) will keep you from healing. Focus on killing off your diagnosed gut bugs, before you start suspecting new foods. Also consider why you keep getting gastro infections. What could lower your immunity to new infections? How's your stomach acid? That prevents gut bugs from proliferating in your intestines. How's your vitamin D level? How are your white blood cells? How's your thyroid function? Any of those things can make you more vulnerable to chronic infection.

If you are worried about olive oil, switch to a different oil and see if you improve. Maybe you are just still healing and still are feeling puny from that. Hang in there!

The best way to figure out if something is bothering you is to eliminate it for a week or so and then re-try it.

What brand olive oil are you using? A while back I saw a thread about Spectrum Olive Oil being made on the same lines as wheat germ oil. A couple people posted they had reacted to that brand only. They switched brands and were fine. I would definiately eliminate it to see if it's olive oil itself, but it might also be possible to react to cc if the company also makes wheat germ oil.

If it helps, I definitely had a reaction to my olive oil. I found out later that although most gluten free folk recommended the oil, the company actually processed unrefined wheat germ oil on the same line, and because it was unrefined, some of the protein could remain in the oil and contaminate the line.

When I stopped the oil, things improved. Hope the same goes for you so you can figure out what's wrong!

I am sensitive to extremely low amounts of gluten cc. I have reacted to 100% olive oil in what seemed like a gluten reaction. It took a long time to figure out that it was getting me because I hadn't considered it. It took me a long time to find a safe brand.

After reading the other replies I recalled reading that some companies add 'vegetable' oil (soybean oil) to their product to cut costs and increase profits. I've never experienced reactions, but I only use certain brands.

I heard that too--and I concur about the Spectrum oils. They have gotten me in the past so I avoid them

I use Bertolli and Filippo Berio olive oils--extra light and extra virgin--depending on what I'm doing with it. Never a problem with those.

Spectrum brand olive oil is the one that also processes wheat germ oil, although there's been a few others I reacted to - I haven't used Trader Joe's, personally.

I haven't tried Bertolli, but I did have problems with Filippo Berio. I'm sure it has something to do with how much you use. I was using a lot.

I use what I would call a normal amount but I can use both of them with no issues.

I'd rank olive oil right there at the top as far as products I use without worry.

Hi Jason did you improve after you stopped of consuming olive oil? I was also wondering if there is any relationship between Celiac Disease and Olive oil.

Your not going to get a response, this post is from over 10 years ago. Olive oil is generally gluten free. With celiac disease it is not uncommon to develop allergies and intolerance to things. For me I got a issue with olive oil, if I cook with it, or eat it I vomit violently. One of those things I developed a intolerance to.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
