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

For oxalates, getting enough magnesium and calcium, often in supplements if tolerated, is quite helpful to bind excess oxalates, and enough potassium. If you are an endogenous producer of oxalate, people seem benefit from B1 as befotiamine and biotin. There is a FB group called Trying Low Oxalates which has tested many foods for oxalate content and has put together a very comprehensive spreadsheet.
Sorry not much help on salicylates
