Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 > > I tried " Barleygreen " some time ago before I knew I was sulfur intolerant. It really messed me up. > There just seem to be hardly any greens that I can tolerate now. I love spinach, cabbage, beans, etc and now I can not have any of it.I'm glad you asked this question to the list Frances as I am following the responses to it. > Greens are high in salicylates and/or other phenols, so this may account for the intolerance. In fact, most highly colored food is high in phenols. Most people are not so sensitive, but I am and I need to eat relatively pale foods as I cannot handle the phenols nor the carotene either. I'm with you Kai, I really look forward to a day when I can eat more vegetables once again!!!!! Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice in the salad will be great for your liver too. J > norske > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
