Another issue I found was legumes! At 64 I discovered that I had G6PD which is genetic linked issue whereby legumes and an array of other foods,and medications cause haemolysis. This leads to brain fog and fatigue. It has been a game changer but I’ve had the symptoms for so long that it has not gone completely. I only ever had subclinical symptoms but some folks get really bad reactions that require blood transfusions. Oxalates and salicylates cause the sneezes if I have too much but that is managable.

Great info here re those things.

Good you found out eventually. My archives have more posts on oxalate and I have a page on salicylate that is a bit out on f date now. I have learned more.

oh no! I really have to read this, had a milk allergy for half my life that made me crazy... I thought my version of crazy was normal of course. but just a couple of days ago I lost my phone, and 20 hours later when the phone tracker app located it right in my neighbor's house where I had fed her cats that day, I still didn't get it until I managed to get the screen message on the phone and the neighbors cat sitters returned the phone to me...

anyway have to get going but looking forward to/dreading reading this post! I really don't want to know about one more thing I need to know about to function adequately!!

thank you for all of your awesome research and Reporting!

Maybe I missed it, but I never a list of salicylate rich foods.

If you apply magnesium chloride in the form of magnesium oil, a saturated solution of it in water, topically, you won't absorb an appreciable amount of chlorine. It will also be more quickly absorbed than foot bathing.
