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.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
