Serving size, prep, and portion notes for sunflower oil
Refined sunflower oil is one of the cleaner oils on the food-chemistry side: it is low FODMAP, carries essentially no histamine, salicylate, lactose or gluten, and is fine for nightshade, nickel and sulfite sensitivity. The one honest catch is inflammation. It is a refined, omega-6-heavy seed oil, so if you are trying to lower your omega-6 load a different fat is a better daily driver. It is not a chemical trigger, but it is not the anti-inflammatory choice olive oil is.
Watch for
High in omega-6 fat as a refined seed oil, so it leans mildly pro-inflammatory if it is your main cooking oil day in, day out (an inflammation-diet note, not a sensitivity trigger) / The fresh refined oil is neutral on histamine, but high-heat frying and reused frying oil oxidise the fat, which is a separate reason heavy fried-food eaters can feel worse / High-oleic sunflower oil is a different, more olive-oil-like fat than standard high-linoleic sunflower oil, so the label is worth reading
