Re: aspirin reactivity (salicylate intolerance?)

[Guest guest]

Aspirin is also high in salicylates, as are many foods, and some

of the key symptoms of salicylate intolerance are rashes, hives,

itching, asthma...

Just my two pennies...

Dear d

I was doing the low salicylate diet last summer but it is very hard as you say its unavoidable

as they are in many foods.I later realized I also reacted to sulphites, then benzoic acid,then

nitrates, I also suspect colorings,alcohol,cigarette smoke and acetone

Now I seem to fit as chemically sensitive ,I even wonder about the benzalkonium chloride

in nose drops as they make my nose rather runny( ive been avoiding these too).

The thing is I am on this site because I beleive an infection or something alien to my

body has triggered this immune response.It has been almost impossible to control

this situ with diet and environmental factors. Even if its just a vitamin or mineral or amino

acid deficency ,great .I am sorry but I do not beleive in genetic stuff unless its immunodeficiency.

None of my family has Chemical sensitivity and most my probs seem to have started when I got the flu

in 1999

Merci anyway

I agree . The more my infection has taken over, the more

chemically sensitive I've become (as seems to be the case with so

many pwc). And conversely, I've seen people who were very allergic

become allergy free after ridding themselves of their infections. I

think the allergic response is the immune system trying to protect a

body already overwhelmed.

I really agree with this as well, as I found myself not being

troubled by any previous triggers as the months go by.-there was

alway's dusty stores or musky smells that could guarantee discomfort

and trigger IBS and the like yet with the infection being attacked

these have disappeared and are back to normal nowadays. I suppose

this is a good sign of the job being done well on the

infection.This is also an indication of how important the sinus or

respiratory area's of the infection are to treat.
