Salicylate intolerance - how to address it
So I’ve gone from experiencing histamine intolerance post Covid to now having issues with salicylates. I wonder if more people have issues with salicylates but just don’t realise since histamine seems to be such a hyper focus when you look into MCAS.
My foods are so limited now that living has become a burden and challenge. I’ve paid thousands to see functional doctors and dietitians who say they understand MCAS but I end up knowing more than they do. I’ve had mold tests, sibo you name it I’ve spent so much money on finding the mythical “root cause”
. Before this all started I always ate everything, now my body is seeming more and more foods as a threat. This disease is unfathomable. I’m not prepared to accept that this is my forever so I need to essentially be my own doctor. There is really limited information on salicylate issues, it is extremely frustrating but there is what I’ve found:
-glycine seems to help address salicylate intolerance: does anyone have experience with the issue?
-high dose fish oil seems to help to but most if not all fish oil is high histamine so this seems a dead end
-Epsom salt baths seem to help - I’ve tried but maybe I need to try more often
Other than the above I’ve found absolutely nothing about addressing salicylates. The advice is just to not eat them - so that basically means having a severely restricted diet for life which is not acceptable to me.
Anyone going through the same please share your wisdom or any tips. There has to be way out of this. I don’t understand how a body can go from eating without issues to reacting to bloody brocolli and zuchinni, it’s a joke
