Salicylates are natural chemicals found in many fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. They're related to aspirin and can cause reactions in sensitive individuals including hives, asthma symptoms, nasal congestion, and digestive issues.
- Start by eliminating the highest sources: spices, herbs, and concentrated products
- Peel fruits and vegetables when possible to reduce salicylate content
- Fresh is usually better tolerated than dried or concentrated
- Build up tolerance slowly by reintroducing foods one at a time
- Sensitivity often improves with gut healing over time

What to know about flour tortilla
A flour tortilla is essentially a soft wheat wrap, so it carries the two big wheat triggers together: gluten and fructans. It grades as containing gluten and high in wheat fructans and FODMAPs, which is why burritos, quesadillas and wraps can bloat or hurt if you have celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity or IBS. Switching to a corn tortilla drops the gluten and the wheat fructans in a single swap.
Watch for
- Made from wheat, so it contains gluten and is off-limits for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity
- High in wheat fructans, a FODMAP that bloats many people with IBS even when gluten is not the problem
- Ferments readily, making it a weaker choice on a low-fermentation SIBO diet
- Contains wheat, one of the top EoE and food-allergy triggers
