[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 567394, member: 1233"] I didn't learn about this until he had eaten more than half of the first jar. He had been having stomach issues for the first time ever, and I suggested that it was the oil he was eating causing the problem. He got a bit upset, but over a few days he realized the cramps and problems only happen after he eats a spoonful of that stuff. I actually do NOT recommend coconut oil for skin as it is actually quite harsh. I use almond, macadamia, grapeseed, or walnut oil on my skin. I get super dry skin and coconut oil makes it seem better but it actually depletes the natural oils and it ends up drying out your skin. In soaps it increases the lather but results in dry skin,w hich is when I first encountered it. You can buy this oil in the supplement section but the price is nuts. Heck, it is cheaper to buy it at the organic food section than this supplement one. As for ingesting, he has stopped but he keeps saying that I am keeping him from being healthy by not buying this for him. Last time he said it I told him that he could buy it, but he could forget complaining to me and getting sympathy. I pointed out that if it causes stomach pain then how healthy is it? I thought I would ask you all because I know you may have heard of this. He doesn't realize that one brand of chips he avoids like a plague because it causes stomach problems is cooked in coconut oil. It is a strange brand, but he has gotten very very ill on them three times. gee, if coconut oil is so healthy, but he gets sick on it, then ? ? ? ? maybe there is something not good about it? I was just floored by this because he will harp on the fat in what I eat and how he eats so healthy because he eats baked potatoes and salads. Um, I eat those also, just with-o all the fat on them and I don't make a big deal about them. I was esp floored by the total rejection of the idea to cut down on other fats if you are eating this fat. Calories and fat grams are calories and fat grams. You don't magically avoid those things if you take something as a supplement. Of course, that is logical. I just bought a month supply of his supplements. If I hadn't used coupons and deals it would have been $140+. I was flabbergasted. But hey, if it helps then it is fine. I just don't like things that cause cramping, etc.... [/QUOTE]
