Cooking oil and bloating.

Last year I went to a very nice restaurant for a roast and afterwards I felt as if my tummy had been pumped up to 100 psi.
Recently went to our local Turkish and experienced same symptoms but put it down to dodgy tap lager.
Had a takeaway yesterday and big fat tummy and lots of burping.
I can only put it down to a change of cooking oil and it not agreeing with me.
A friend of a friend was going to explain cooking oil to me but we were drunk and drifted off topic. Any thoughts?

As anyone who’s ever watched Masterchef knows, absolutely everything should be cooked in butter. Lots of it!

Cooking oil is the devils snot

Sure you’re not just over-ordering? Classic behaviour with meals out and takeaways, especially where a few beers are involved!

Other than that, why are you homing in on cooking oil as a possible problem? Do you suffer from steatorrhea?

Yep must be the cooking oil. I can’t think of any other possible explanation

Some Indian takeaways use rediculous amounts of oil…

There are all manner of things it could be other than the oil.

If this hunch is based on the ‘seed oils are poison’ concept, it would be wise to do some studious research.

TLDR: It’s quack science with no actual evidence.

Hmm, beer ?

I can only put it down to a change of cooking oil

Nothing to do with…

we were drunk

… then? It can’t be the gallon and a half of Stella I’ve dropped after a mountain of food, it can only be different oil. There’s no other possible explanation.

Indeed. And plenty of actual science that it’s utter bollocks.  Zoe did a great episode on this, referencing loads of pukka data and randomised control trials rather than influencers and bro science.  Still, experts eh? Who needs ’em?

It’s definitely the oil. I can tell when I’m eating it , I have a very finely tuned tummy.
There’s no way on earth I can eat a jam doughnut and just looking at flapjack makes me feel ill.

If it’s definitely the oil, why did you ask for our thoughts?

Of it is the oil, I’d hazard it’s the sheer amount rather then the type.

If you’re sure it’s the oil, despite what we’ve said, I’m not sure why you asked the question.

I realise it’s not what the OP wants but here are some ways to avoid bloating, from the NHS. It would seem that at least don’t are applicable here

Don’t
do not drink lots of fizzy drinks, alcohol or caffeine in coffee and tea
do not eat lots of foods that are known to cause gas, like cabbage, beans or lentils
do not eat large meals late at night before bed, or slouch when eating
do not eat lots of processed, sugary, spicy or fatty foods
do not eat food you are intolerant to, if you have a food intoleranc

Excellent, I’m glad we’ve got to the bottom of this. Continue treating your finely tuned tummy to some more of those famously oil-free Turkish meals, takeaways and roasts then.

Except chips, which should be cooked in beef dripping.

Flippin’ ‘eck, I’d starve to death!!!

I’m asking the question as to find out why I’m fine 99% of the time but why this particular oil is not good.

Normally someone on here has experienced the same symptoms.

How do you know all those places were using the same oil?

…and how much oil gets used cooking “a roast” anyway?

The yorkshires were cooked in the offending oil and I’m assuming the spuds as well.

I’d be thinking onions and garlic, they do me in big time, and it was something relatively bland like a cottage pie i’d added a little garlic to that finally made me realise what it was.

Have you asked all the places what oil they used? So you know absolutely that they used the same oil…
