Coconut/olive oil?
Hi everyone - I think I did this without thinking in my past flares, but is it smart to avoid oils while I'm in a flare? My rice tastes so much better with a little coconut oil, but I'm thinking maybe it's too hard on my intestines. Thoughts? Thanks!

From reading around on here, most people use coconut oil ok. I can't find the exact threads but if you search on here a lot of people have mentioned it helping them!

Beth,
Naty is referring to the fact that coconut and/or coconut oil is promoted as a treatment for MC by some alternative practitioners. Here's one of the threads that she mentioned:

It sometimes helps to minimize certain types of oil, (such as fish oil and flax seed oil), during a flare, but coconut oil may be an exception.
It probably depends on the individual.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

I use a lot of coconut oil because it helps with my thyroid, and either it is helping with the CC or it is not exacerbating it. Also, I have found that for me, coconut oil helps brain fog.
