| Strawberry - I loved strawberries. Very bad reaction. Itching under arms, groin, back of knees, feet, swelling to face / jaw aka the "Barney Rubble" | |
| . | |
| Food containing e110 colouring "sunset yellow". Read food labels and be amazed how many foods contain this colouring | . |
Most Fruit and Vegetables contain Salicylates. Potato without skin has low salicylate. Tomatoes and cucumber are very high. |
|
Most herbs and seasonings contain Salicylate. Curry and Paprika are extremely high in Salicylates and I avoid them completely! Salicylate content in Salt and saffron are negligible. |
|
| Toothpaste - Mint is high in salicylate, so toothpaste can leave you with swollen or sore gums. I now use Kingfisher Fennel toothpaste which is mint free. | |
| Nuts - poppy seeds are negligible. | |
