Re: Almond Milk - Salicylates

[Guest guest]

Almonds are a salicylate. For many people, salicylates cause behavior

and/or bleeding problems. I started limiting salicylates 2 years ago

after I had elbow surgery with severe bleeding afterwards.

" Pecan bread " was chosen as the name for this board because many ASD

children are unable to tolerate the salicylate level in almonds.

We have to limit salicylates in all topicals and cleaners in our home

as well.

If you go to the first posts here on Pecan bread, you can read more

about it.

Almonds are a major reactor for our son. Non ASD. We have cut them

out totally.

LOL! I wouldn't try almonds at my house for a billion dollars!

The " Peach test of November 2004 " still brings back horrible

memories. DS screamed nonstop and was full of rage for 8 days

straight.

We've come a long way.

Hey all, Kai had bad reactions last year to salicylates last year when we

first started SCD. He would have rages, red face and ears, and at times

break out in hives. We reintroduced them this past month and he no longer

has a reaction! He is also able to eat strawberries, peaches, etc without a

problem.

That's great! A sure sign that his gut has done a lot of healing.

This is soooooo good to hear. It is like I had to take many of

Tobias' favorite foods out of his diet, like oranges, red grapes,

strawberrys, and melon. It is good to hear about someone that has

been able to bring them back in.

Yeah I really thought that it would never happen because his reaction was so

extreme. The oddest part is that he was having a reaction as recent as

February.
