Almost all foods can be fully consumed in normal quantities.

• With concentrated foods be careful (e.g. fruit juices or oils) - these may be consumed only in small quantities.
• Avoid food with mint or menthol and those which contain plant extracts or oils, as far as you leave them in your mouth for longer time (e.g. chewing gum, candies)
• Do not drink tea from the tea plant (black, green or white tea) and no peppermint tea; other tea you can drink in moderate quantities but let it steep only short time.Please ask in self-aid-groups or forums if you are not sure about something.

Please note that if you comply with liberal or strict diet by Dr. St. Amand regardless of the question of salicylate content other basics for food consumption are applicable.
