Biochemists: Salycilates, adrenals and thyroid

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I avoid most salycilate foods to remain symptom free. When reviewing

my list of symptoms recorded at the height of my illness I notice that

the symptoms I relate to food intolerance are also that mainly of

adrenal fatigue and thyroid suppression (and feature greatly in

mercury poisoning symptoms too).

It's confusing because some of these symptoms are also alleviated by

anti-dysbiosis/parasite protocols. Bit of a mixed bag....

My measure of success is how much salycilate food I can eat without

symptoms. This is improving as chelation continues, but I notice my

TSH levels are rising as well.

My question is:

What relationship is there between dietary salycilates and

adrenal/thyroid functioning? I've heard it said that salycilates can

mimick adrenaline and also neurotransmitters. If I go on

adrenal/thyroid support will I be able to eat more foods and

conversely, would others who rely on these supports be able to go

without them if they avoid salycilates?

Hoping theres an answer out there....

thanks

Hi Kelle,

Do you have a link for a good list for salycilate-free foods?

Well, food intolerances cause inflammation - and inflammation causes adrenal

and thyroid stress.

That is why any good adrenal and thyroid program includes some measure of

food intolerance identification.

Do you take any adrenal or thyroid hormone?

Chelation is also stressful - very stressful.

I would say that if your strengthen your adrenals and thyroid you are

usually able to tolerate more foods.

But salicylates can pose their own set of problems.

Thyroid hormone is crucial for your liver phases, and it also increases the

temperatures in the body making the enzymes work better.

Also, mercury and metals make many enzymes that break down food useless -

making chelation vital.

There are many food chemicals and different people will have different

problems.
