Sulfites?

Does anyone out there have a problem with sulfites? I have suspected this, ever since having had a BAAAD experience with dried apricots - and thereafter having an "iffy" gut when ingesting dried fruit...

Anyone?

I've been sulphite sensitive since I was a kid. Many things have sulphites (including naturally occuring ones). Try some other things and see how you feel. Do you react to wine? Other dried fruit? Pretty much anything with dried onions in it?

Sulfites bother me too. But not my digestion. The smell of them in dried fruits makes my chest tighten up and burn immediately. In red wine, I may or may not get a headache, really depends on how "cheap" it is. I really don't drink wine too much, but I usually do better with white, even though I really prefer red.

Sensitivity to sulfites is pretty common, so you are definitely not alone.

I am so allergic to sulphites I have had anaphalatic (sp) shock in the past. I am allergic also sula, sulfates, and all sulfur derivatives. These allergies eliminate all pain medications and I have arthritis up and down my spine. I have Fibromyalgia. I am in lots of pain all the time, and can't have pain meds. None of my doctor's will prescribe pain meds because of my allergies.

No doctor will give me any medicines. I have been discovered to have NASH (non -alcohol inflammation fatty liver disease) and must go on insulin. I have been assure the new insulins have no sulphites in them.

I had chest pain from drinking wine and it was because of the sulphites. I no longer touch any alcohol and haven't for years. Now because of NASH, I can't have anything that will cause NASH to do further damage to my liver. So there is no medication going to be given that can affect my liver, can ever be taken.

I have problems with glutten, I am in the testing faze. I have problem with popcorn, and all starch products, so far.

The testing goes on.

Hugs all

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
