Common list of symptoms
Salicylate sensitivity or intolerance is unfamiliar to most since it is both somewhat rare and under-researched, and it has symptom-overlap with many other conditions. Because of this, those suffering from symptoms related to this intolerance remain unaware of their allergy. I started this blog to raise awareness of the condition and to help the lucky few, like me, suffering from salicylate intolerance.

Salicylates are naturally-occurring chemicals in many fruits and vegetables that protect against predators and disease. Salicylates are also found in drugs that contain salicylic acid. A small percentage of people experience a negative reaction after consuming high salicylate foods, causing symptoms like nasal sores, asthma, rhinitis, gastrointestinal inflammation, diarrhea, and hives. For those with a salicylate intolerance, it’s important to avoid medications and skin products that contain salicylates, including aspirin, bismuth subsalicylate, choline salicylate, diflunisal, magnesium salicylate, and salsalate.
