Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 My Dad came over to my house this evening and wanted to know how I fared after drinking coconut water on Saturday. He said he drank a cup of it and he had diarrehea very bad. I had about 1/2 cup and it didnt phase me at all. He has ulcerative colitis, but I've also heard coconut oil is a dieretic. (Forgive my horrible spelling) What features of coconut oil would've given him the diarrehea? Did he get diarrehea b/c of his ulcerative colitis or because it is a dieretic and he just consumed more than me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very common for people like your Dad to get diarrhea from coconut water or coconut oil, and they think they are allergic to it, which is not true, and it is not because it is a diuretic. He should first start on this diet and supplements, along with digestive suggestions and only start with 1/2 tsp 3 times per day of coconut oil - it's better than coconut water - and very gradually increase it. This program will definitely help your dad's ulcerative colitis - he particularly needs to eliminate processed foods, grains, sugars, and bad oils and fats. He must have butter, coconut oil and other good fats which strengthen and heal the intestines. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
