My husband has a rapeseed oil intolerance and it seems he isn’t the only one. It can be quite tricky to indentify as foods which contain vegetable oil may or may not contain rapeseed oil.

I would never recommend Canola oil. Most of it has been produced from genetically modified crops – modified to reduce the amount of rapeseed’s natural toxin (erucic acid) to make it palatable for human consumption. Generally, anything that needs to be genetically modified to be palatable has to have a large question mark hanging over. Olive oil will always be worth the extra money – from a health viewpoint.

Hi Sue, it appears that you are not the only one – whilst it doesn’t appear to be very common there are some reports out there from people who suffer similar symptoms after consuming rapeseed oil (or canola oil).

Is there a known intolerance to rapeseed oil? I get incredibly painful stomach cramps about 8-12 hours after consuming anything food cooked with rapeseed. I am also B12 deficient and have not yet started treatment. Does anyone have any similar experiences…?
