If sulfites are a trigger, you may want to be cautious with wine-based foods

like salad dressing because of the the high sulfite content. I have to avoid

dried fruit with sulfites too. I can't eat raisins and limit my intake of

grapes too since they have naturally occurring sulfites.

I had an anaphylactic reaction to Balsamic vinegar back in 2006 because of the

sulfites. Also used to react to the sulfites they sprayed on salads in the 70's

until someone here in California died, and they prohibited the use of sulfites

on lettuce. It is still allowed in other foods to maintain whiteness so I avoid

dehydrated potato products, white veggies like cauliflower at a salad bar that

can be treated, or even mushrooms.

It could be the sugar. I can't eat anything containing sugar before

bedtime.

sulfites. Guess I can add sulfites to my trigger list along with NSAIDS. Seems

like everything they say applies to only a small percentage of asthmatics

applies to me for some strange reason.

LOL. The sulfite allergy pertains to a much larger percentage of asthmatics than you would guess. Sulfites have only been really looked at in the last couple of years and are not included on standard allergy tests (yet). I would suspect that once they do routinely test for sulfites the percentages will be fairly high. I do know how you feel about weird reactions though. My docs think I am part alien. I don't react to things I should and I react to all kinds of things that aren't normal. Go figure.Madeline

It's kind of ironic but my Epi-Pen that I carry for anaphylactic reactions

contains sulfites! Maybe not any dumber than having prednisone prescribed for a

severe allergic reaction that contains cornstarch that could trigger a reaction.

Sigh.
