I brought this up in a thread I posted on salicylate sensitivity, but wanted to ask in separate thread, if that was okay.
Over the past few months, I've developed a lot of new food tolerances, seemingly out of nowhere, and have had to cut back on most oils, nuts, honey, avocado etc., which leaves me on a very limited Keto diet. I'm also crashing a lot harder from stuff I used to be okay with, like Omega 6.
When I thought about it, the only changed I've made since then has been the introduction of MCT oi (before that, I would have coconut oil in my coffee).
I don't know if salicylate sensitivity is an 'allergy' but based on this study -- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3563838/ -- is it possible that regularly consuming MCT oil is worsening my food sensitivities? Has anyone else had trouble tolerating it, or found it worsened other sensitivities by any chance? And if it is a problem, would that extend to coconut oil too? I'd be kind of remiss to have to cut out coconut oil because I do like having some fat in my coffee to aid fasting when I wake up.
