Re: Coconut Oil?       03/03/13 09:36 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Coconut oil is known to have some unique health benefit but it is still an oil which can cause IBS symptoms like any other oil/fat. You can read more about it at the NYU Langone Medical Center web site and in this Harvard Medical Center newsletter. However on the web site you provided the link to it says "It improves the digestive system, prevents various digestive related problems including irritable bowel syndrome ....." There is no evidence that coconut oil or any other food product can prevent IBS. This is just misleading. IBS is not caused by fungi or parasites and no particular bacteria, if any, has been identified as the cause. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
