HI Tracey – you may have taken too much and it’s possible your body isn’t used to that much saturated fat. Go ahead and cut back to 1/2 TBSP and see how you do. We’ve never really heard of coconut oil helping one to sleep, though, so perhaps you could try it during the day.

I used a tablespoon of coconut oil with a teaspoon of honey and a pinch of sea salt. I mixed it all into a cup of camomile tea as a sleep remedy. Unfortunately it didn’t send me to sleep. It just made me feel sick and gave me a headache. I was still feeling rough today. It was last night that I took it, before bed time. My stomach is still gurgling now!

Also if you are bringing healing to your intestines consider incorporating goat’s milk and turmeric into your diet. Both are excellent for inflammation….

You can use it for lotion. Use it to tan with. Use to fight acne. Drinking 100% coconut water with pulp from a can or coconut will heal psoriasis. Put a spoonful in your mouth, let it melt and swish it makes for a good mouthwash. It whitens and kills germs and fights gengavitous but make sure you don’t spit it down the sink.

The kernel is what one wants, not from the copra which is where the vast majority of coconut oils come from. The kernel is the quality.
Also, with coffee or herbal tea, try 1 tbls grass fed butter or ghee and 1 tbls coconut oil per 1-2 cups of either drink. Add a little stevia if desired.
Prepare the drink, add it along with the rest into a blender and blend for 20-30 seconds. This replaces creamer and you’ll get the good fats associated with the butter and coconut oil amongst other things and in raw form. Café du monde is the choice for coffee this way, for sure dude!

I love it and used it a lot before I started the SCD. I am at week two now. Would it help with my constipation? I haven’t been to the toilet for three days.

I have been on the FODMAP diet for a few months, but thought I would try to add coconut oil in, as I heard of it’s benefits for IBS sufferers.

Well I noticed I got a huge migraine after having quite a bit of it through the day which I haven’t had since on the diet (I think because of the removal of gluten has truly helped). I also was running to the toilet which is not something that usually happens to me. I took a little bit the next day again, and a slight headache appeared, so I ditched the coconut oil…and no symptoms since.

That’s okay don’t eat it then, but later after you do some healing I’d retest it.

I react terribly to coconut oil- rash, burning intestines…though I have SIBO/candida, low secretory IgA,leaky gut, really low weight. So I’d love to be able to use it, but don’t think I can for now…

@ Chris – Not much experience with the butter, but I’ve read it tastes great. As far as cooking you want to stay with the oil because it will with stand the heat better.

Hi Kate,

You can substitute whenever, actually coconut oil is better for cooking than olive oil as coconut oil has a higher smoke point. I saute all my veggies in and most of my meats. I actually do not use olive oil unless its in a dressing form. For cooking I use animal fats, coconut oil and ghee. Give it a try but roughly the same amount works for me.

Are their specific foods I should pair it with? Or can I use it when I make my sauteed aparagus? And I never knew how much to use..the same amount as olive oil?

Tim,

I only use unrefined sea salt, however salt with iodine is allowed on SCD. I’ve just always been skeptical of the processing of the salt. I did take a iodine supplement made by Freeda for awhile but have since stopped as my multi-vitamin includes it (SCD Complete by GI Pro Health). I would recommend trying out their multi-vitamin but as for the salt it is Basically a personal choice. Good Luck!

I’m starting on the scd and had a question about iodine and salt. Did u use salt that had iodine added 2 it or did u use other means to correct your deficiency. If so what brand of salt was it. I’m a little skeptical of using anything but unrefined sea salt (just started using celtic sea salt) but depending on who u ask their might not be enough iodine it. Thanx bro
