Question 1

My child is very sensitive to salicylate and olive oil is ranked very high in the salicylate food chart.  Can I still do this protocol?

Accepted Answer

Most of the intolerance parents see in their children is directly from a reaction of the overgrown bacteria with the food or leakage of nutrient macromolecules into the immune tissue surrounding the small intestine. After reversing bacterial overgrowth with either inulin or rifaximin, the gut heals within 2-3 weeks, and the leaky gut phenomenon halts. I’ve had many patients tolerate foods previously intolerant when eaten or listed as such on these types of sensitivity tests.
