Salicylates are in most fruit, veges and spices however they occur in different amounts. They are higher in veges artifically ripened or unripe and concentrated near the skin so we peel apples etc. Ariya reacts strongly to salicylates so if we limit her to one food from the moderate group (butternut pumpkin, carrot, beetroot etc) and avoid giving her any close to bedtime as it causes twitching and other symptoms withing about 1 hr.
I'm not sure if it is the salicylates or the glutamtes that triggers the cold/cough symptoms but here are the lists from friendly foods book - Royal Prince Alfred Allergy Unit
