I've made a couple posts recently about worsening food intolerances and trying to cut out triggers. I'm on keto and can't eat dairy, gluten, salicylates, Omega 6 etc.
Oddly, I find some foods can trigger me at different points. For example, I was doing better once I cut out MCT oil (which seemed to worsen gut issues), and that let me tolerate olive oil. I ran out and bought a new bottle (same brand, the only difference was it was 'robust' flavor as opposed to light) and crashed severely the next day.
Anyway, now I'm down to meat, fish, chicken, eggs, green salad, almond milk w/olive oil and peanut butter. At points I abstain from Olive oil, peanut butter becomes my only fat source. It doesn't trigger an obvious crash like canola oil but I did learn recently it's high in omega 6 (even though I read this may be less problematic consuming it as a whole food).
To see if I can get an improvement I wanted to try an alternative. My cognitive issues are bad right now so apologies for asking here. I tried to Google a little and it seems cashew nut spread would be low in salicylates. I couldn't see anything comparing the omega 6 quantity or ratio to peanut butter however. Could it be a safer alternative? Almonds would be too high in salicylates. Just curious what you might think @alex3619
Thanks for any help
