Low Salicylate Diet
No citrus except a spoonful of lemon juice in a glass of water for fresh lemonade. Fruits, bananas, Bartlett pears, and Golden Delicious apples must be ripe and peeled. No berries or raisins. Eat potatoes without skins, brussel sprouts, cabbage, parsley, leeks and chives, beans and peas. Spices: natural sea salt and garlic. Garlic has a natural peppery flavor, delicious in many cooked vegetables and meats. Meats and pasta, cheese, eggs and dairy are high protein sources and low in salicylates.
