salicylate reaction?

[aimz78]

Hi,
Just wondering about experiences of anyone who reacts to salicylates. The reason I ask is because I have been looking at Sue Dengates Failsafe diet book and although we are preservative and additive free as much as possible, we eat a lot of salicylates.
I looked at the list of high salicylate foods in particular and they are all foods that I absolutely love and eat all the time. It makes me wonder because Sue says the foods you most struggle to give up are the ones that are likely to affect you. I have sinus probs/hayfever/headaches etc.
How have you or your children reacted?
How did you identify the problem?
Thanks
