What to know about olive oil
Olive oil is one of the cleanest foods you can put on a plate. It is low FODMAP and clean on histamine, salicylate, oxalate, nickel and gluten, so it is safe for histamine intolerance, IBS and salicylate sensitivity alike. Better still, it is actively anti-inflammatory: the monounsaturated fat and polyphenols in extra virgin olive oil are the backbone of the Mediterranean diet. For most sensitive eaters this is a reassurance page, not a warning.
Watch for
- No meaningful trigger: olive oil is low histamine, low salicylate, low FODMAP and gluten free
- Anti-inflammatory rather than pro-inflammatory, one of the few kitchen staples that scores well on inflammation
- Infused or flavoured olive oils add garlic, chilli or herbs, so any reaction comes from the add-in, not the oil
