Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in SNOT-22 scores from Baseline

    As this is a crossover study, all participants will complete the SNOT-22 questionnaire at the beginning of the study. After 6 weeks of their assigned diet (normal vs low salicylate), they will complete the SNOT-22 questionnaire to see if there are any differences in subjective nasal and sinus symptoms. After 6 weeks, the participants cross over to the other diet and they will complete the SNOT-22 questionnaire again in another 6 weeks when the study ends.

    6 weeks and 12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Lund-Kennedy Endoscopic Score from Baseline
