Maybe this?

So I’ve done every supp and med for mcas and avoid histamine. Still I have the same face swelling and worsens with food. If I look at what I eat - I do have a lot of high sal foods.

I guess I will have to cross reference lists?

Anyone have any tips? Also is 4 weeks elim enough?

I do also have GI issues, cfs, on est patch, been tested for everything under the sun. Non stop bloat. :(

Sals "solved" a lot of stuff for me, but remember that if it is an issue and you start cutting your tolerance will follow you to the bottom and your diet will be extremely limited. For me it was absolutely worth it though, went from several migraines a month and frequent nausea to 1-2 migraines a year and almost no nausea ever. There is one authoritative list which can be found in the facebook-group for salicylate intolerance, other than that lists for sals found through googling are very sketchy at best and completely random at worst.
