Salicylate intolerance

    Salicylates are part of a plant’s defense mechanism. They are processed in phase 2 of the liver. If you have Mold Toxicity, mold can hog this pathway and prevent you from metabolizing salicylates leading to this uncomfortable build up. Salicylate intolerance means that you can’t eat a normal amount of salicylates in foods. Or take higher salicylate supplements without developing symptoms.

Signs of salicylate intolerance

-Aspirin allergy

-Ear ringing (tinnitus)

-Nasal congestion

-Fatigue

-Rashes

Common high salicylate foods to avoid if you have salicylate intolerance

-Many herbs

-Apricots

-Blueberries

-Broccoli

-Cucumber

-Parsnips

-Sweet potato

-Peppers

-Radishes

-Processed meats

 

Salicylate intolerance can be caused by a number of problems, such as:

-Taking in too many salicylates (through food or supplements)

-Mold toxicity clogging the detox pathways that get rid of salicylates

-Lack of needed nutrients for reducing salicylates in your body

-Issues with oxalates

-Lack of sulfur in diet (from meats and veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, onions, and garlic)

-Too many inflammatory mast cell mediators like histamine

-These are a few of the most common causes of salicylate intolerance.

 

How Salicylates Can Affect Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

Here is how Mast Cell Activation works. Once your inflammation bucket reaches your body’s threshold, your mast cells get overactivated. And this causes a variety of symptoms.

This is why inflammation from excess salicylates can trigger Mast Cell Activation. Which can cause the mast cells to produce more inflammation. Which can trigger even more Mast Cell Activation.

Salicylates can be a major trigger for mast cells. If you have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome or Histamine Intolerance, your mast cells are easily triggered, anyway.

alicylates can be a major trigger for mast cells. If you have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome or Histamine Intolerance, your mast cells are easily triggered, anyway.

And if you also have an intolerance to salicylates, it generally results in even more mast cell inflammation.

You may get mast cell inflammation signs like pain, redness, swelling, or heat. That can be triggered by high salicylate foods or supplements.

Other types of symptoms of salicylate intolerance can also include things like

-abdominal pain

-gas

-ear ringing

-trouble breathing

-sinus issues

-asthma

As you know, any kind of inflammation can trigger more Mast Cell Activation and Histamine issues. And salicylates can be a big trigger as well.

Basically, salicylates can add to the mast cell inflammation bucket — just like these other types of mast cell triggers:

-histamine

-oxalates

-mold

-toxins

-chemicals

-other inflammatory foods.

And if you also have an intolerance to salicylates, it generally results in even more mast cell inflammation.You may get mast cell inflammation signs like pain, redness, swelling, or heat. That can be triggered by high salicylate foods or supplements.
