can fats be allergenic? or otherwise problematic on an elimination diet?

[Guest guest]

Aren't proteins the only things that are allergenic? I know that carbs can

be problematic in other ways, such as if one lacks the enzymes to digest

them, but what about fats? I'm still in the elimination phase of my diet and

I'm wondering if I should return to taking my cod liver oil dose, as it's

part of the protocol my naturopath has me on for my inactive thyroid. Plus

I'm getting almost no vits A and D right now and feel I could use some.

I also would like to cook with coconut oil - should I shy away from CO

during my elimination phase? I did eat it daily prior to the ED. Right now

I'm cooking with either ghee or organic lard. So far, the ghee seems fine

and I'm not sure about the lard yet. I'll probably know shortly as I'm

frying apple slices in lard now and will have just that and fish this

morning.
