What to know about coconut oil
Coconut oil is pure fat, so it is essentially free of the usual food-chemistry triggers: no histamine, no salicylate or FODMAP load to speak of, no nickel or sulfites. If coconut oil seems to bother you, the reaction almost never traces to the oil itself. The one honest caveat is nutritional rather than a sensitivity: it is very high in saturated fat, so it rates low for Mediterranean and DASH-style eating.
Watch for
- About 90% saturated fat, the highest of the common cooking oils, so it is not a Mediterranean or DASH-friendly fat to lean on daily
- Essentially free of histamine, salicylate, FODMAP, nickel and sulfite triggers, so reactions blamed on it usually come from something else in the dish
- Refined versus virgin makes no difference to triggers; both are just fat
