Sallicyate sensitivity, also known as salicylate intolerance, is any adverse condition experienced when a normal amount of salicylate is introduced into a diet and there is adverse affect. Salicylates are derivatives of salicylic acid that accrue in plants and serve them as a natural immune hormone and a preservative and aids them against diseases, harmful bacteria and fungi infestation. Salicylates can be both synthetic and natural they can be present in medications, perfumes and preservatives. For those who find them selves intolerant even a small dose can cause an adverse reaction. The sensitivity is a pharmacological reaction and not an allergy, the symptoms can be hives or rashes, stomach pain/upset stomach, asthma and other breathing difficulties a persistent cough, hyperactivity and memory loss plus depression. It is very difficult to eliminate salicylate from ones diet completely. Peeling the skin from fruit is helpful but the diet I am on and recommend is free of many sources of this acid. I will list the foods to avoid in future blogs.
