Dyslexia and Food Sensitivities

Part of Dr. Feingold’s research has shown this particular chemical is linked to several learning and behavioral issues. As such, his diet plan removed salicyltes for a few weeks and slowly add those foods back to your normal eating regimen to help see which ones you may or may not have sensitivity to. It can be difficult to find which foods have salicyltes in them, as the issue is varied amongst different people, so you will have to test it and find out for yourself. According to the Auckland Allergy Clinic in New Zealand, fruits and vegetables that are very high in salicylates include:

• apricots
• black currants
• blueberries
• cherries
• cranberries
• olives
• currants
• dates
• grapes
• guava
• oranges
• pineapples
• plums
• prunes
• raisins
• raspberries
• blackberries
• strawberries
• tangerines
• champion mushrooms
• chicory
• courgette
• hot peppers
• radishes
• tomatoes and tomato-based foods
