Coconut oil consistently gives me: strong acid indigestion (nothing else does), an odd sluggish feeling in my liver (nothing else does), and a slight stomach ache. This is from amounts as small as 1 teaspoon, either with or without other foods.
Please help me with ideas?? I don't get acid indigestion from any other food on the planet - as a matter of fact never even knew what acid indigestion felt like until the times I tried coconut oil.
The sluggish feeling it gives my liver is something I've also never felt from any other foods.
I am NOT allergic to coconut - I can drink coconut milk - the kind made from the white meat of the coconut that does have a tiny amount of the oil naturally in it, and apparently the small amount of the oil in that is not enough to set off my problems. The coconut meat itself is fine.
Help, I need some kind of oil I can use! I can't use butter due to strong dairy allergy (yes, for me that includes butter), ghee is too expensive/a pain to make, and I'm tired of olive oil for everything.
Maybe strong fat-digesting enzymes with each use of the coconut oil? But why, when other oils don't cause me these problems?
I used virgin organic coconut oil.
Sigh.

This is a reply to # 663,486Two ideas - maybe the oil you are using is spoiled or has some impurity that you're reacting to, or maybe it's the brand and you should try another brand. Some COs are made by a fermenting method and some are made using a centrifugal method. I would see which kind yours is and try the other kind.
You shouldn't have to use digestive enzymes with Virgin coconut oil. Hope you find something that works for you! - Re: Coc. oil gives me INDIGESTION, n... anja

MoreThis is a reply to # 663,486have you done any liver flushing? Could be a congested liver/gallbladder. I have had similar feeling from some fats and oils at times. I just completed my 10th Liver Flush a few days ago, even though I was not feeling really symptomatic other than a little irritable (sometimes happens from liver congestion), and I still got stones out. Not a lot, but enough to make me glad I put myself through it again. The other thought is, what is your blood type? A lot of people believe there is really something to that, and I know coconut is apparently an "avoid" for type A's (which I am, and I can tolerate coconut in small amounts, but feel unwell on too much).

This is a reply to # 663,490It's ONLY coconut oil that is the problem no other oils at all, even in much higher quantities - all other oils and fats are fine for me. So doesn't look like it's the liver. I've done about 5 flushes, as a side note.
I'm a type O blood, apparently coconut oil is ok for either the secretors or the non-secretors of Type O, but I'm not sure which I am. Yet I haven't seen this type of reaction from other people with Type O blood, when trying coconut oil.
Thanks though.- Re: It's ONLY coconut oil that is th... anja

This is a reply to # 663,491Hmmm . Maybe you are allergic? Or maybe it's the brand? I have tried one or two coconut oils in the past that I thought were disgusting. If they seem even a little bit off or rancid, I cannot get them down. The one I've been buying lately that I really like is fresh and sweet, very coconuntty, is Nutiva brand. I've been buying a pretty large container, keeping it at room temp, and it takes me quite a few months to use it up. It still smells and tastes as fresh as the day I opened it. I used to buy from coconutoil-online, and my first order was delicious, but the next batch had a funny, slightly rancid butter quality, and I couldn't eat it. That is really weird, though, that you have a problem w/coconut oil but not other fats. What about butter? Maybe because it's a saturated fat? I can handle a lot more olive oil in one sitting than coconut. Do you take it on an empty stomach or with food? I can't usually do oils straight. I bought some awesome lemon-flavored cod liver oil from Wilderness Fam. Naturals recently that I just love. off topic, but thought I would mention it, since it's also a healthy oil (unless you are vegan). It doesn't taste one iota like fish in any way, just like the lemon essential oil it's flavored with. It's actually quite delicious, I was shocked! :) Good luck!

This is a reply to # 663,490Liver Flushing will cure a multitude of ills!
I'm type A and I love the flavor and smell of coconut oil and can eat it all day. My husband is type O and he detests it, although he'll eat all the coconut oil fudge I can make :)- Re: Great idea! anja

This is a reply to # 663,492oooh! CO fudge? that sounds lovely. Care to share the recipe? I used to buy coconut cream in tetra paks from coconutoil-online, wilderness family naturals had it too, but I haven't been able to buy it for well over a year, I assume due to the Tsunami wiping out coconut groves. I finally got my hands on some good coconut milk from Wilderness Fam. naturals (I usually don't like the stuff in the can), and I plan to make coconut ice cream with stevia and maybe some other fruits this summer. No dairy, no sugar. I miss ice cream like you wouldn't believe. I know the coc. milk is probably pasturized, but I don't have the time or energy to crack the raw ones. The couple of times I tried that, they were bad inside, anyway. What do you expect in Michigan.... :)

This is a reply to # 663,611I actually still haven't had a chance to try it, but you could do a google search. I think you can just substitute the dairy with coconut milk - better yet, coconut cream, but that product hasn't been very available lately. I plan to use stevia to sweeten it, and you could add vanilla extract, or fruit like strawberries and make sort of a coconut strawberry ice cream. coconut is also really good with lime.

This is a reply to # 663,486It is actually common to feel nauseus after ingesting coconut oil. Do a search for it and you will see that you are not alone. Some say that it is a cleansing reaction to a toxic body. Others say that you have to work your way up from a tiny amount. I believe that coconut oil also functions as a colon cleanser, so would imagine that could impact the feeling of indigestion. I sometimes take it with a drop or two of peppermint oil or fennel oil to make it easier to tolerate. - Re: Coc. oil gives me INDIGESTION, n... denisevegan

This is a reply to # 663,486Which brand are you using exactly?
this is the only brand I trust...
Make sure it's not in a plastic container...
Coconut oil should be stored in glass jars.. if it's in plastic, run!!!!

This is a reply to # 663,605So glad you wrote this post! I have the same exact situation...no other oil does it to me, I use only the highest quality brands (Nutiva and TJ's WFN's), and it feels like I am having a heart attack. This only seems to happen to me when I put it in my coffee, not if I cook veggies with it. I also notice my skin feels dryer after a few hours if I use it as a moisturizer, but I am fine when I use olive oil, or an arbonne product. My mother uses the same coconut oil with apparently no problem, though. I am type O positive, but I only write that because you mentioned it, not because I think it is related. I am not sure what my mother's blood type is. I know several people at mercola.com have also mentioned problems with coconut oil, btw.
