First off, you shouldn't take six Benadryll at one time because that falls into the range of overdose. That said, the simple answer is that you are not allergic the the chemically modified form of coconut oil (cocamide). On there other hand, there are dozens of things you are potentially allergic to in coconut oil because it is actually a combination of many compounds.





Coconut oil is a fat consisting of about 90% saturated fat. The oil contains predominantly medium chain triglycerides,[1] with roughly 92% saturated fatty acids, 6% monounsaturated fatty acids, and 2% polyunsaturated fatty acids. Of the saturated fatty acids, coconut oil is primarily 44.6% lauric acid, 16.8% myristic acid a 8.2% palmitic acid and 8% caprylic acid, although it contains seven different saturated fatty acids in total. Its only monounsaturated fatty acid is oleic acid while its only polyunsaturated fatty acid is linoleic acid. Any one of these could be causing your allergy.





Cocamide is created through chemical reaction of coconut oil to attach an ethanolamide. This changes the shape of the antigen (oil) so that it doesn't trigger an allergy. The glycerol on oil is more likely to trigger an allergy than straight hydrocarbons. Cocamide has the glycerol portion reacted off.
