High oleic sunflower oil

[237SJ]

I know what it is and that it's supposed to be healthier but have there been any tests that indicate it can cause stomach trouble?

[LazyGun]

Why do you ask, and what sort of stomach trouble?

[237SJ]

Pains. In stomach area (not lower down in the bowel) going from left to right. Diarrhoea too but mainly pain.

Not sure why you would need a supplement of Oleic Sunflower Oil,mbutbthatvis not your question........the pain.....for how long has it been present, is it constant, does anything relieve it and from true description itnis upper abdominal pain travelling from left to right.......is that correct?

Hi Sqad. On thursday a friend and I picked up some tortilla chips and I had several with some guacamole. Friday, I had pains that came in waves from L to R in stomach area. I`ve never had pains like that before. Sat mid pm I had some more and finished the guacamole. While out shopping later, I had the pains again and that night I thought I was going to be ill and took a bucket to bed! I had the beginnings of diahhroea (pure liquid) but it didn`t materialise. Fine on Sunday. Tucked away a large roast. No pain. No problem. Sunday early eve I didn`t want tea so had more tortilla chips to nibble on. Within an hour the pain was back. Waves from L to R and then lingered a bit on the R before facing. I had to grit my teeth as it was quite bad. It dawned on me that it was something to do with the chips. Next day (fool like I am) I thought I would try a few more as I wanted to be sure it was the chips and nothing else. No pain but I got really bad diarrhoea. I`m 100% positive it was the chips and I was looking at the ingredients. It could be a corn intolerance but I can eat other brands of tortilla chips with no problem. The high oleic sunflower oil was one of the ingredients. Moral of the story - Stop putting processed rubbish like tortilla chips in your stomach because you don`t know what the hell is in it, even when the ingredients appear innocuous.

I thought it might be the guacamole if made from un-ripe avocados, they can give similar pains.
