Could sunflower oil cause inflamation?

Hi every one, I am wondering if sunflower oil has caused anyone more pain?

I have been eating kumera chips, kumera is what most of you call sweet potato, I thought they would be O.K to eat, but have been in more pain than usual, but not every day, I realised it was the day after eating those chips, they are cooked in sunflower oil.

I am not sure if it was that or not so am wanting to know if anyone else has experienced the same.

Very much appreciate your experiances

    There's some interesting info on web md.  For example, people allergic to ragweed, daisy family, and related plants can be sensitive to sunflower oil.

      Oh yes of course that's a really good thought too, we are probably sensitive to different foods.

      I am going to eat a whole bag of those crisps while feeling as good as my good, and then see what happens, that way I will know for sure, and avoid all products with sun flower oil

      hope you are good
