Coconut is unsafe due to the insoluble fiber content. Coconut oil should be treated like any other oil. However, it is wise to treat it with caution as it contains mostly saturated fats which is unhealthy for other reasons. Here is what Heather says about oil/fat "it makes no difference to your gastrocolic reflex if you're eating lard or extra-virgin olive oil, it will make quite a difference to your heart and your health in general. Your body needs healthy fats in order to function. Keep your fat intake to 20% - 25% of your total calories, and make your fats count. They should be monounsaturated and contain essential fatty acids, so choose fat sources such as olive oil, canola oil, avocados, finely ground nuts, fatty fish, flax oil, etc. Because all fats, even heart-healthy choices, are still potential IBS triggers"
