A delicious and simple plan to support clients with salicylate intolerance.

Our Low Salicylate Diet removes all medium and high salicylate-containing foods to manage the symptoms of salicylate intolerance. This well-balanced plan contains a wide variety of delicious, colorful and fun low salicylate recipes.

This program was created using low salicylate foods with the following key considerations:

Anti-Inflammatory Foods
This meal plan contains polyphenols and antioxidants to help manage inflammation. Polyphenols help modulate the inflammatory response and are found in pecans, potatoes, oats, asparagus, and onion. Essential fat-soluble antioxidants like vitamin A and vitamin E reduce oxidative stress. Vitamin A sources include eggs, yogurt, and milk and vitamin E is incorporated through a daily dose of nuts and chia seeds.

Fiber
Fiber lowers C-reactive protein (CRP), a substance in the blood that indicates inflammation. It modulates the gut microbiome to create a healthy intestinal environment. This plan provides up to 35 grams of fiber daily from low salicylate fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains.

Immune Support
The minerals zinc and selenium are critical for immune function. This plan provides zinc from fish, oats, milk, and eggs and selenium from chicken, yogurt, and rice. Vitamin C found in foods like citrus fruits, persimmon, figs, and potatoes is incorporated into the plan to support the immune system.

Quality Protein
Salicylate intolerance is often connected to gastrointestinal disease. High-quality protein sources with a variety of amino acids can help improve gut microbiota. Glutamine plays an important role in gut microbiota and immunity and is found in chicken, milk, and yogurt. Other protein sources in the plan include fish, nuts, seeds, and eggs.
