citric acid intolerance

lmyres posted:

I am beginning to try and eliminate citric acid from my diet, after finding out I am intolerant. I wonder if any one has a list of safe foods, or tips about foods that you would never expect have citric acid. I am trying to avoid the acid, as I have terrible hives as a reaction to any exposure. Please help!

I did a quick search on the internet and came up with this site: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~vclarke/citric_foods.html I'm not sure how reputable, but it's a starting point. Good luck.

I just found out that I too am intolerant of citric acid. It seems to be in everything. I just wondered what you eat. I see that your post is from a year ago so I'm not sure if you still frequent this site but if you do I could sure use you help!

Hi Tuscanlady-I would like to pass on a website that has a list of food additives that many people are allergic to and are NOT good to consume.

Hi Imyres-Here is a link to food additives to avoid.

Have you found an organic bread that does NOT contain citric acid? I just looked at my Silver Hills Big 16 all organic bread and it DOES contain citric acid, very disappointing.
