Aspirin allergy

georgiegirlMember

Hi all, I have now been diagnosed with an allergy to aspirin following an aspirin challenge. This means that I will have to eat a low salicylate diet until I can be desensitised to aspirin. I am wondering if this is a result of years of mesalazine treatment. Any ideas? Mesalazine is closely related to aspirin. Anyone else had this?
Thanks in advance!

I've been allergic to aspirin for decades, but it never affected my ability to tolerate 5-ASA meds. I guess they're just different.

I'm considering aspirin desensitization, but I'm concerned about the daily aspirin dose that I believe lasts forever after that procedure. I know aspirin has risks, but does anyone know if it presents any additional risks specific to J-pouches or IBD? If you can point to an authoritative source I'd be grateful.
