So you're curious about going salicylate-free and found a list. Maybe you've started and are still having reactions when eating bowls full of Brussels sprouts. Or maybe you're in a few months and have had nothing but meat and cabbage because it's the only thing you think you can eat. Well, this is a post for you! One of the most challenging things when starting a low-salicylate diet is choosing a list to use and then "listening" to your body. Why is there so much variation? You may be frustrated or confused, but I'm hoping the sleuthing I've done for you (and really for me) will help clear things up and put you back on the right track.

The first thing that I must say is if your doctor or health care practitioner gave you a list, use that. They know you and your history, and they know what you're trying to accomplish. Next, if you choose to pick a list to use, take it to your provider and have them agree that it's safe to use for your healthcare plan.

Salicylates are natural chemicals (similar to aspirin) that occur in low doses of fruits, veggies, oils, fragrances, and cleaners. Some people (like me) are sensitive or intolerant. In many, a histamine reaction occurs, triggering an allergic-type reaction and making us sick. A low-salicylate diet has provided relief for many suffering from the condition.
