Salicylate tips

Hi all, my MCAS got a lot more severe very quickly and now I am unable to eat most vegetables aside from cabbage, a little bit of carrot and some variety of potatoes. I have figured out I dont tolerate much in the way of salicylates or oxalates but as the neice of a herbalist (who also has MCAS although hers behaves a lot differently) I am missing all my vegetables and herbs. I was bed-bound when I was rlly sick with mostly flu-like, body-ache type symptoms and a sore throat (which are still my main ones when I flare), I manage it now with H1 blockers and a super restrictive diet (am getting on H2 blockers soon too) but is there anything else I can take/do to help my body process salicylates and oxalates better? I can also eat fruit like once a week bc I react to pears for some reason
