Canola Oil An Issue?

Hi guys,

I am wondering if canola oil can possibly be an issue for those us newly gluten-free? I have eaten gluten-free bread from a DEDICATED gluten-free restaurant/bakery twice and felt "glutened" but I KNOW the owner (a celiac) and I know it's NOT gluten causing me to feel this way. But it is just like a gluten reaction: I get foggy headed, nauseous, "off balance", irritable, short of breath, feels racy in the chest and eventually, the inevitable D. Feel just awful for a few days.

She willingly told me the ingredients in the bread. Same as our homemade bread, but we use safflower or sunflower oil.

I've been trying to be a detective, but something keeps making me feel sick and I am 100% gluten-free compliant.

I know food intolerances develop besides gluten (mine are soy, dairy) but I cannot seem to figure out what the heck is going on.

I also used canola oil mayo on the sammie I made with that bread and now, I have to wonder....

Anyone else out there have an issue with canola oil?

Thanks a bunch for any ideas!!

Canola oil is a rather controversial product. Does it come from the 'canola' plant? No, it comes from the genetically modified rapeseed plant and the name stands for Canada Oil. You can make up your own mind about the product. I prefer to use grapeseed oil rather than rapeseed oil. Do a google on it.

I have read about it before (some people actually say they get sick from it) and you are right---there is plenty of controversy surrounding the rapeseed. I'll remove it from my diet and see what happens. Thanks!

THANK YOU ALL for your responses! You guys are so great--especially with us "newbies" :)

I THINK my problem is that I am still healing.

The canola oil doesn't bother me all the time.

I would think that if it were a real intolerance, I would react consistently.

Grateful for your input!!

thanks a bunch! I am thinking it is the FAT content issue as well. I am still healing.

I can DEFINITELY relate!! I cannot really tolerate fat at all and have been gluten-free for over a year and a half. It can be frustrating knowing that our body needs fat to be healthy. . . if you have any insight or ideas that have worked for you, do let me know!

Good luck and happy fat-free healing! ;)

I have long suspected iCanola was an issue as I have been gluten free with no cheating for over 4 years now and STILL was having all kinds of reactions that were more like hangovers. For me and a trip to Spain and Italy has confirmed my thoughts~ where I was symptom free and whilst eating gluten free. I ate a bunch of things that I can't eat here in the US, I felt better than I had in years.

 

 You should be aware that the use of Roundup in crops has been linked to the increase in Celiac/Gluten issues. Guess what else is considered a Roundup ready crop???? We really need to wake up and pay attention to what Monsanto is doing to the US food supply.

@Jill Harris

Welcome!  Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease for long?   If you are new, know that most celiacs have additional food intolerances with the most common being lactose.  Any food can be suspect.  For example, I have issues with Xanthan Gum found in most commercially processed gluten-free foods.  So, I have to avoid them or I experience “gluten like” symptoms.  Thankfully, exposures to my intolerances last just for a day or so,  unlike my celiac disease symptoms which can last for weeks.

Keeping a food journal and avoiding processed foods (even gluten-free) helps until you are feeling well.  Real food is best, in my opinion.  The same items my great-grandmother kept in her pantry.

      What should I do with these test results?

      From the article you linked: "Currently, there are no recommended methods to test for non-celiac gluten sensitivity." "No recommended methods" is the key phrase here. Just on the anecdotal evidence of reading many posts on this forum, I think we sometimes see some elevated igg test scores with NCGS. They seem to be mildly elevated in these cases, not high...

      Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the...

      I should add that I had a flare up I think was from cross contamination and during that time I ate gluten free chips and immediately had severe itching at the breakout site. I suspected it was the iodine in the salt from the chips that did it. It seems like iodine may impact a flare up but does not impact me if I’m otherwise not experiencing the rash. G...

      Reply to Jackie, Thank you. I have not been eating any oats at all, but I am aware of a possible correlation. And I already rarely eat out, and not recently. So, whatever this is, I’m doing it to myself, somehow. 🤷‍♀️

      Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the same necklaces for literally years with no reaction. The dermatologist at the time repeated over and over again that “allergies are acquired.” Which I knew. But I was not reacting to any other jewelry I was wearing. So it didn’t make any sense to me that it would only be from my necklaces. Anyway, it abated on it’s own. Only to come back with a vengeance months later - and I had not worn any necklaces at all. And the rash involved more area. I was put on Prednisone (oral steroid) taper and it worked well, and the itch and eventually the rash went away. Another trip to a different dermatologist at that time, prior to starting the Prednisone, told me to change all of my hygiene products like soap and shampoo, and to slather on Vaseline. None of which worked, hence the Prednisone. Needless to say, the itch and subsequent rash returned - and now spread everywhere, not just the hollows on both sides of my neck. It’s there, on my upper chest and left breast, both upper arms front and back, and elbows, my entire back, down both of my hips and buttocks and the front of my right thigh. Now the back of that right thigh is starting to itch as well. Also my lower right forearm and middle knuckle on my left hand since going gluten free. I’m just itching everywhere all the time. It keeps me awake, or wakes me up when I do fall asleep. I’m trying my best not to scratch, but it’s nearly impossible! I’ve been using a dry washcloth to rub instead of scratching. And I have used cool wet washcloths which help, but only lasts for a few minutes before starting up again. I’m pretty much at my wit’s end. Just waiting for something to indicate what’s really going on so I can do SOMETHING to stop it!

However, as a new member to dermatitis herpetiformis, I have been reading and researching everything I can about it in order to educate and help myself. I was hoping that the oral Dapsone would help to alleviate the itching. I knew the rash would take longer to abate. Instead of relief from the Dapsone, I had adverse reactions so had to stop it. After 2 months on it, if hadn’t helped with the itching at all, and I understand it usually helps in the first few days if it’s going to. My itch and rash actually got worse on the Dapsone and with going gluten free - which lead me to question whether I was getting glutined from other products I am using. It’s like a huge puzzle trying to put all these pieces together to somehow make it fit and make sense. Right now, myself and my doctor are perplexed.
