Avoiding food chemicals such as salicylates and amines can be downright painful. It looks healthy (it is healthy for most people!), but you can’t eat it! Sometimes it feels tempting to reach for something you know you won’t react to – even if it isn’t good for your overall health.
Never fear. Help is on the way. It is possible to eat food that is both super tasty and healthy as well. With a little preparation, you will be eating gourmet meals (without the side effects) in no time. Check out these recipes that are low in salicylates and amines, and are free of dairy, wheat, egg and gluten.
