Bonnie: Some of my clients who are salicylate sensitive cannot tolerate aspirin, period. However, for those I am not sure about, I always recommend genetic testing before taking aspirin. Most doctors do not offer this test unless asked by the patient because they either do not know about it or they think it is too much of a hassle. However, this should be standard practice as one quarter of the human population cannot tolerate aspirin. If they can open this up to all medication, we could severely curtail adverse effects.
