Just for interest only

Hi Mel-P
 
Nice to speak to you on the forum. You can see on this website that pineapple is mentioned.

I also have salicylate intolerance and could never eat pineapple before but I am building up my intolerance side of things so for me the pineapple is not related to the latex allergy but it is to my salicylate intolerance and now and then I can manage a little bit. The worst that can happen for me personally is hives from eating it.
 
I can even manage one strawberry a week now and I though I would never manage to eat a strawberry again but again this is over time of building up my intolerances.
 
For me the fruit side of it is not related to my latex allergy.
 
Take care

Hi Sandra
 
Nice to talk to you again. Even although cross relating to latex my fruit and vegetables are either intolerance to salicylates or to full allergy to sulphites which is e.g. sprayed on the banana skin.
 
I wish I could eat grapes I do miss eating so much of my healthy fruits and vegetables. However trying to build up my intolerances but so far can't eat a lot of things including a simple carrot.
 
Take care
Teddy
