For those of you with kids on the Feingold and have to also watch your salicylate intake, we know what you are going through. We still avoid all the basics on
Feingold - High Fructose Corn Syrup, Dyes, Preservatives, Nitrates, Artificial Flavors. Now, though my son can tolerate most regular foods with salicylates because we give him the new enzyme from Enzymedica - CarbGest. It happened immediately and works great.
If you are still having trouble, peel all your fruit and veggies (that you can), the peeling contains real enzymes that seem to cause extra trouble in sensitive kids. Also, you can find lists online (just google salicylates) to find which foods are highest - like almonds, honey, grapes, raisens, etc.
Remember also, that if you take a food allergy test, the salicylate sensitivity will NOT show up, you have to do it as a process of elimination. Unfortunately, that's the only legitimate way to check. But when you find the salicylate lists online, test the mild foods first and work your way up to medium and severe. (Or for a more peaceful house, don't try severe at all)
