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

Gerri

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia. Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders...

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The tha...

      Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply. Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots...

      Welcome to the forum, @Lburnett! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? I'm just trying to get a handle on the health context from which your question comes.

It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.    Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too.

His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky
