4. Diarrhea

Since coconut oil has antibacterial properties, too much of it can destroy unwanted and wanted bacteria. The balance of "good" bacteria in your gut—which helps to break down food—may be compromised when you consume too much coconut oil, causing diarrhea. To avoid this problem, don't consume these products in excess. If you want to make sure there are enough good gut bacteria in your digestive system, taking probiotics may help.
