Does anyone know if reaction to oil, such as canola oil, can
be attributed to intestinal inflammtion and the Arachidonic Acid Cascade? I
was just wondering if the reaction one gets from oil is possibly due
to intestinal inflammation and not gluten ingestion.

Apparently arachidonic acid is catalyzed into prostaglandins and
leukotrienes of which intermediates can form reactive compounds. In
addition, lipid peroxidation results in cell edema, increased vascular
permeability, increased inflammation, and altered activity of cellular
membrane-bound enzymes.
