Coconut Oil and Stomach Problems
- Digesting the oil regularly will help to strengthen the immune system. Coconut oil's lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acids give it antiviral properties.
- The saturated fats present in coconut oil have antifungal and antibacterial properties.The fats help fight the harmful bacteria in your system like heliobacter pylori, which inhabit various areas of your stomach and are linked to the development of gastric ulcers and cancer.
- Coconut oil is a food, not a medication. Because it is high in saturated fats and a natural laxative, it could cause diarrhea. It is best not to start with the recommended three to four tablespoons, but rather to work up to this amount over time.
- Digestion of the oil helps the absorption of good nutrients and vitamins.
- Before adding to your diet, consult a health professional or nutritionist.
