FAQ: "Can I take other supplements while following The Eczema Diet?"
A: If you are following the Eczema Diet, which is a low-salicylate diet, you will need to avoid supplements that contain salicylates for a period of 12 weeks. These include herbal medicines, herbal teas, wheatgrass and other green supplements, and multivitamins. If you have been diagnosed with a deficiency, such as iron or vitamin D, please continue to take them.
Taking other supplements during the elimination diet may interfere with your results, as most supplements contain salicylates, amines and/or hidden additives.
Note that fermented products, probiotics and fish oils contain amines (or histamines) so they will affect your results IF you are sensitive to amines/histamines. If you are not sure if you are sensitive to them seek advice from a health practitioner or send us an email. You could also join our online Eczema Diet Membership. There are no appointments necessary to speak to Karen and her team of nutritionists on the support forum.
