Low Amine and Salicylate diet

- Dairy especially cow’s milk
- Grapes; wine (sorry!), sultanas,
- oranges and orange juice
- Kiwi fruit
- Soy sauce and Tamari
- Tomatoes, fresh, cooked and canned or in sauces
- Avocado

- Dried fruits
- Deli meats (bacon, ham, sausages, salami anythign made with preservatives, flavourings and nitrates)

For the first few weeks try to stick to the following list of allowable ingredients as much as possible.
List of allowable ingredients;
Garlic (not imported)
Fresh beetroot (not initially)
Meat should be as fresh as possible, it’s usually better to buy it from the butcher, rather than the cryovac packed meat in the supermarkets as this may be weeks old.
Organic or at least free range will be best. Don’t keep leftovers.
Avoid the skin on chicken and the fat on all meat. If buying mince, ask the butcher for preservative free.
- chicken,
- turkey
- lamb
- beef
Bone Broth (this is a link to the recipe, just leave out the apple cider vinegar, tomatoes, carrots, onions, bay leaf and thyme);

Decaf coffee with soy milky or Rooibos tea
Lunch;
Salad; iceberg lettuce with celery, red or white cabbage, sliced celery, mung beans and spring onions.
Cooked peeled white potatoes with green beans, chokoes and chives on the top.
Finely sliced cabbage is nice mixed through mashed potato.
Home made hash browns are good too.
Dinner;
Same as lunch.
Keep a food diary while you’re on the restricted 2 or so weeks and then when you are re-introducing foods. Don’t start re-introducing foods until your eczema has cleared up.

Just started this diet. I seem to be very sensitive to touching anything with salicylates in it, like potato skin. Coconut based detergents seem to get me, too. – Merry Christmas ❤ Maggie Lynn
