Hi, I have inherited a very allergenic system. The only way I have been able to keep my sensitivities under control is to rotate all my foods. When my allergist recommened this strategy, he also said to stay away from Penicillin and asprin. I understand the Penicillin as I have 2 syblings and a parent that developed allergies to it. But, I don t understand the aspirin. Now that I am on Celebrex, I am a little concerned about the aspirin issue , as it sounds as though Celebrex and Aspirin might be related. Can there be a problem?

Aspirin inhibits both and Celecoxib inhibits COX-2 selectively. Aspirin allergy is mostly due to component called salicylate. Thus, you should avoid other salicylate containing
