@mskmadd welcome to MFP forums. Glad to read about your earlier successes. Sorry to hear about your health issues that currently remain.

I too once had a false concept about coconut oil being unhealthy and I needed meds due to my old eating lifestyle. From the forums I was able to learn I could manage pain, acid reflux, blood pressure and reduce my risk of heart disease by moving to a new eating lifestyle in my case to live Rx med free.

Below is an article that covers some of my new eating lifestyle of the past 1.5 years that has in my case enabled better health without the need for Rx meds. This eating lifestyle however may be totally wrong in your case but of interest to others.

At the age of 63 I came to realize I was eating in a way that was rushing me in the direction of a premature death. Now at the age of 65 my general health and all my lab results are better than at the age of 45.

Best of success as you work to find the eating lifestyle that solves more and more of your health related issues you mentioned above.

You use to be correct. Coconut oil is mostly saturated fat. Evidence is pretty good that if you're using it to replace poly and mono unsaturated fats, you're increasing CVD risk.

@senecarr we know you are bluffing because you could not find any valid data to back up your mistaken position.

It helps me with my chronic heartburn. When I eat it every day, after about two weeks, heartburn disappears like it never existed. When I stop eating coconut oil, heartburn returns. Coincidence? Don't know. Don't care. I just do what works.

@brinkbodin below is one link that supports your personal experience. Below it is just pro and con links.
