I use Nutiva organic extra virgin coconut oil, maybe I should try another brand! maybe I am allergic to it. I hope not!!! I use it after I take a shower all over and at night on my face and neck. Thank you

If you are allergic, that allergy (as any other) can be eliminated. Look up NAET.

I use coconut oil as well. I have never gotten a rash from it.

Kaley,

Yeah, I thought it may be do to the antifungal properties in the coconut oil! Something to think about! It's gone now though since being on this anticandida diet. I also use the miessence on my face now and LOVE it. I found the coconut oil to be too oily under my makeup but love it otherwise for a mostuirzer.

Maybe thats what it is. do you use coconut oil now since you are done the Body ecology diet! I wonder if I should keep using it? The rash is usually on my neck and arms not on my face. HUH!! Well thank you!! Maybe I'll do a candida cleanse and see what happens.

Cynthia,

Could very well be since we are all experiencing this! I have had no more rashes since being on the diet. I would give it a try along with probiotics. We take the In-Liven!

That is exactly what happened to me when I started using it. I would use it as a lotion before bed and had a rash on my neck and chest when I woke up. I continued to use it despite having a rash (it wasn't too bad) and now I don't get the rash anymore. It stopped after about 2-3 weeks.

Some people are allergic to certain types of coconut oil. Are you using raw organic extra virgin?

Also, for the first couple of weeks some people experience detoxification symptoms. Earthclinic.com has a lot of information about coconut oil use.

I think rashes from coconut oil are due to an over abundance of candida in the body.

have you guys tried Mercola's natural body butter? all organic ingredients (aloe vera juice, distilled water, virigin coconut oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, mango butter, palm oil and a few other things) - goes on pretty nicely. Best thing I've used on my hands and face.
