Hi Everyone,

Do anyone have a reaction to canola oil.? And what kind of oils are you all cooking with.? I had a terrible reaction the other day and don't know what it was from. I guess I need to keep a food diary for now on. I also had eaten a bag of rice chips BBQ--boy were they goooooood. It said gluten free on the bag but maybe i ate to much. Spent most of the night in the bathroom. Any info would be great. Appreciate everyones support

Hi, Joyce!

I can't be 100% sure, but I might react to canola oil. I've certainly reacted to a number of home-cooked meals that should have been gluten-free and contained canola oil. Come to think of it, I still have a bottle of canola oil and could drizzle some on Bush's baked beans to test it! I have never yet reacted to the beans, so if I have a reaction it should be from the oil. Now, I have switched to grapeseed oil when I want a flavorless oil. I use extra-virgin olive oil wherever I can, though!

Have you contacted the manufacturer of the rice chips to discuss potential cross-contamination?

Along those lines, I had a disheartening experience with Utz's potato chips yesterday. I wasn't paying very close attention to my three-and-a-half year old, and he got into the pantry and ate three snack-size bags of chips before I noticed. He was even nice, and shared some with his little brother! Later in the evening, I found the third bag in his bedroom and finished off the last few chips. Then I read the boys a story. Then I thought, why did my stomach just start aching mildly? Well, I decided I was imagining things and went to bed. This morning I had a new pimple on my chin (which suggests gluten or dairy consumption for me), my baby's stools were loose (but not particularly foul-smelling), and my older boy had diarrhea. I still didn't want to believe it was gluten-related, but then the baby couldn't stay asleep at naptime (a sign of gluten trouble for him). Sigh. I am still not sure what to think, since the chip manufacturer claims that their chips are as safe as any processed food could possibly be ("We've been telling people for five years that our chips are gluten-free, and no one has contradicted us yet!"). I suppose it could be a problem with the cottonseed oil they're fried in, maybe...but then why couldn't the baby stay asleep? I'm frustrated, because I really like this brand of potato chip. I don't eat them often at all, but I don't want to have to give them up forever!

Well, I'm sorry to have rambled on. I hope you can pin down the cause of your trouble quickly!

Good Luck

I've had reactions from canola before!!

People (even here) think I'm mistaken, but long ago I read about canola being grown in fallow wheat fields. I think it's a cross-contamination issue....

Anyway, we won't touch it!!

We use olive oil, corn oil, and sunflower oil (my favorite)--and butter.

I buy products made with cotton seed oil, safflower oil, and peanut oil with no problems.

Are you talking about lundenberg farm bbq rice chips? I used to eat those all the time and never reacted to those (though that doesn't mean much). Then I noticed that I seemed sensitive to corn, and being that those chips are mostly corn, I had to stop eating them..... Not that this information helps much, but I wouldn't place my bets on gluten being in those chips......

I stopped using Canola Oil because I read on mercola.com that when it is heated up, it becomes terrible for you. In fact, the only oil that is safe to use for high heat cooking is coconut oil. Olive oil is fantastic raw (virgin - unprocessed oil) but once you heat it, it can become carcinogenic or at the very least, lose its goodness.

Coconut oil, of course, tastes like coconuts, and on some things, is really distracting, like on sweetpotato fries. But it actually tastes really good for frying salmon.

Anyway, I heard Canola is bad for you, so even if it is not the culprit, it's not the best choice for cooking either. Good luck!

I use both canola oil and olive oil, reacting to neither. But everyone is different.

I use canola oil and olive oil and I have not had any problems either. Could it be a reaction to any other products that you are using?

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
