Rapeseed
Rapeseed, commonly referred to as canola in its oil form, is a widely used cooking oil known for its neutral taste and high smoking point. However, some individuals may experience rapeseed oil intolerance, impacting their ability to consume foods cooked with this oil without discomfort....
Description
Rapeseed oil intolerance involves difficulties in digesting foods cooked with rape seed oil, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. This differs from a rape seed oil allergy, which is an immune response to proteins in rapeseed oil, potentially causing more severe symptoms like hives, respiratory issues, or anaphylaxis. Intolerance primarily affects the digestive system, resulting in symptoms like bloating or diarrhea, while allergies involve a broader immune system response.

- Diarrhea
- Nausea
If you consistently experience digestive issues such as bloating, gas, or abdominal pain after consuming foods cooked with rapeseed oil, it may be worth considering a test for rapeseed oil intolerance. Persistent symptoms correlated with rapeseed oil consumption suggest a need for further investigation. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help determine whether these symptoms are related to intolerance or another medical condition.
Managing rapeseed oil intolerance involves avoiding foods cooked with rapeseed oil in your diet. This requires careful attention to ingredient choices, especially when dining out or preparing meals at home. Exploring alternative cooking oils or methods that don’t trigger symptoms can help maintain a varied and enjoyable diet. Consulting with a dietitian or nutritionist can provide guidance on suitable cooking oil substitutes and ensure that dietary changes are nutritionally sound and do not cause discomfort.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
