I have trouble with fat in general. It seems that my intestines are damaged enough that anything hard to digest flares them up. Hopefully this will go away as I heal.

I have found that cold pressed Macadamia oil is easily digested and doesn't have any after taste.

To my knowledge, I do better with them than without. I think it's worth considering the quality of the oils you use though. Sunflower oil is not something I'd make regular use of, if ever. Olive oil is good stuff if you buy a quality product, and refrigerate it. For the brand, I'm suspicious of most of the stuff out there. You basically get what you pay for - at least most of the time. As I understand it, the type of olive oil to get is the stuff that says first cold press. I think that's normally referred to as "extra extra virgin", or something like that. Make certain it originates from Italy or France, etc, and not simply imported from there. It should also have an expiration date stamped on it. The richer/darker the color, the better it is supposed to be, though not proof of quality. It should be in dark/tinted glass, or in a can. A plastic bottle is not used for hi grade stuff, since oil and plastic react to each other.

I believe there's a recent thread about olive oil quality, providing some links to some excellent, detailed info on the subject. It's worth a read if you can dig it up.

Ah! Just the sort of thing I was hoping to see. Perhaps you'd have something useful to add to this thread:

I'm about to try the MacNut brand, which most claim to be the best quality of the ones I've found. There's been a lot of recent interest in macadamia oil, and I wonder if it's mostly hype.

Yes, I think I'm having trouble with oils. I've suspected this for a while. The other day I could have sworn I got gluten, but what I ate should not have had gluten. It did have a ton of olive oil though. It gave me major gas, but few of my regular gluten symptoms. I got my food intolerance test results and it said I have no reaction to olives though. So, I don't get it. My doctor did say that fats are harder to digest, so maybe that's the issue. ???

You might try coconut oil. It's a little different from other oils and my understanding is it's digested differently.

If you are newly diagnosed your gallbladder may still be a bit impaired and having a hard time with oils. You may need to keep oily and fried and fatty food to a minimum for a bit of time. If an oil or another food seems to bother you drop it from your diet for a while then try again in a bit with small amounts. Some oils like seseame oil need to be refrigerated also so make sure you do so if indictated. Others have given some great suggestions for different oils to try so I don't have anything to add other than to suggest buying the smallest bottle of the best kind whatever it is at first. Watch your flash points also when using a new oil many smoke and burn at a lower temp than just good old 'vegetable' oils

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree that the gastritis may go away after you've been on a gluten-free diet for a while. If you are concerned, it might make sense for you to do a follow up biopsy after  a year or so on a gluten-free diet. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Testing for celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Getting tested for celiac disease is a valid concern, especially given your history of microscopic colitis and the potential risks associated with undiagnosed celiac disease, such as cross-contamination, nutrient malabsorption, and increased cancer risk. Since you’ve been gluten-free for years, reintroducing gluten for the standard celiac blood tests or endoscopy would be challenging, as it requires consuming gluten for several weeks to months, which could worsen your symptoms and disrupt your daily life. Gene testing (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8) through a lab like EnteroLab could be a helpful first step. While these genes are present in nearly all celiac patients, having them doesn’t confirm celiac disease—it only indicates genetic susceptibility. If you don’t have these genes, celiac disease is highly unlikely, which could provide some peace of mind. However, if you do have the genes, it doesn’t confirm celiac disease but suggests further testing might be warranted if you’re willing to undergo a gluten challenge. Another option is to discuss with your doctor whether a follow-up endoscopy or other non-invasive tests (like stool tests for gluten antibodies) could provide insights without requiring a gluten challenge. While a formal celiac diagnosis can be important for ensuring strict dietary adherence, access to gluten-free options in hospitals, and monitoring for complications, it’s also worth weighing the risks and benefits of reintroducing gluten. If you’re already strictly gluten-free and managing your symptoms well, the urgency of a formal diagnosis may depend on your personal health goals and concerns. Consulting a gastroenterologist familiar with celiac disease and Microscopic Colitis can help guide your decision.
