Salicylates/phenols in coconut: like nuts?

[Guest guest]

DS uses No Fenol for his salicylate intolerance with great success. The only

natural foods he still has a salicylate problem with are nuts. So I'm wondering

whether coconut is likely to cause the same reaction (in his case, ADHD-like

behaviours)?

I know that coconut is quite different to tree nuts in composition and that a

nut allergy won't be triggered by coconuts, but that's to do with the proteins.

I haven't been able to find any info on1/ why DS would react to some natural

sals and not others while using No Fenol

2/ whether coconut is likely to casue the same problem.

I would love to hear a technical explanation as well as anecdotal reports

Thanks,

Regarding the questions on coconut, I recommend that you query the folks at

coconut oil open forum. It's a very active group with some fairly knowledgeable

people.
