Web research uncovered that I should also be avoiding benzoates and citric acid while trying to eliminate BOP from my diet because of their close relationship to Balsam of Peru. Do you know how many millions of products out there use these ingredients?! Salad dressings, frozen fruits, jams, frozen meals, yogurts, pasta dishes, baked goods, etc., etc.- you name it, it's got either BOP, benzoates or citric acid in it!
I know!!! I suffer with the same allergy
ReplyDeleteI just wish there were more resources on what to eat...my allergist said "we don't give stuff like that" ...great!
