Hi Eileen,
My Mum has severe food allergies and is constantly trying to guess what it is she has eaten that has made her get the runs etc. She has been told that she can’t eat the skin on apples because of the Salicyates but has just made a batch of stewed apples without the skin and seems to be sick from that. She is not certain though if it may be from something else she has eaten or if she can’t eat them when they have been cooked?
Would you be able to help us with this ata all?
Thank you.
Julie
Hi Julie,
Sorry to hear that your Mum is unwell. Salicylates vary with each type of apple. It is true that naturally occuring chemicals are highest just under the skin as the produce uses this as their natural defence system. Granny Smith apples are the highest in salicylates compared to other apples, from my understanding. I would avoid apples all together for now and make sure she gets lots of fermented products. If you can get her having some keifer and raw milk (not processed). Remove cooked dairy and reduce or remove meat if possible. It is hard to know what exactly is causing the problem and if she really wants to solve this then I recommend she do a food elimination diet. Increase water and remove all additives and preservatives. Go as raw (in food…that is…hehe) as possible.
I hope this helps. Keep me informed and let me know if I can assist further.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

Hi Eileen,
Such a nice article on the FDR. Really informative for anyone who isn’t yet familiar with it. Very glad to hear you enjoy it. Browsing for what you’re looking for & then stumbling across other helpful or insightful info is the whole idea behind not providing a glossary/index. Thank you for your promo & posting!
Hi there DT Team,
So nice of you to stop by and glad you liked my article and thank you so much for elaborating on the reason The FDR is structured the way it is. Now that you say that, I do find that it works that way for me and that I do learn new information by just browsing for what I was looking for. I rarely use the index. So glad to have your input and please stop by again.
Regards to the team!!
Eileen.
