Is it real or instant coffee? The key to tolerating salicylate seems to be consume omega-3 foods ie fish as it is omega-6, which would be in beef, which seems to react with the chemicals. When I found this out, it increased my tolerance levels massively. You can get a feel for my diet by following the links to recipes. As somebody else recently pointed out, sometimes the intolerance may involve more than one chemical.<br />Best wishesRASnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33504617.post-17380491208498940822011-06-03T19:01:03.018+00:002011-06-03T19:01:03.018+00:00My boyfriend, who also has a severe salicylate all...My boyfriend, who also has a severe salicylate allergy, has a very limited diet. Thankfully, most things labeled "organic" he can tolerate - even pre-packaged food! This has been a great discovery, because he used to only eat bananas, beef, eggs, green salads (no dressing), and chicken. Thanks to organic foods, the variety in his diet has gotten much bigger. Can you please post a list of foods that you have found tolerable? I'm hoping to be able to expand my boyfriend's list of "okay to eat" foods even further.
