Red Wine Headache vs. Sulfite Allergy
Many people complain of getting headaches after drinking red wines. Although some of these people had one bad experience from drinking lousy wine or simply overindulging and now blame all red wines, there seems to be enough anecdotal evidence to suggest that others experience a real physiological reaction after drinking many red wines.

Sulfite Allergies
Many people are allergic to sulfites. Sulfites are common food additives used as sanitary agents and preservation to prevent discoloration of foods. They are commonly used in restaurant salad bars and are also present in many supermarket foods, including frozen foods, dried fruits, and certain fresh fruits and vegetables.

Food Allergies And Intolerances In Babies And Children
Sulfites are a sulphurous acid (including sulfur dioxide) that have been used for over 2,000 years in food and drink processing. Sulfites are primarily used as preservatives, sanitary agents and food color preservatives. They are also used to bleach foods like corn and potatoes, in pharmaceuticals and are often sprayed on grapes that are used for wine. Many foods you typically find in salad bars have been processed with sulfites.

Sulfites are another of those elements found in our food that is cause for concern. Sulfites occur naturally in many fresh foods, but in much lower amounts that may not cause a problem. It is the larger quantities used in food processing that generally causes a problem. Many people who are allergic to corn also have a problem with sulfites. The two seem to go hand in hand. Sulfites are used as a preservative in salads, fresh fruits and vegetables, wine, beer, dried fruit and other processed foods.

Sulfites: Safe For Most, Dangerous For Some
The Food and Drug Administration estimates that one out of a hundred people is sulfite-sensitive, and that 5 percent of those who have asthma, like Karen (who asked that her last name not be used), are also at risk of suffering an adverse reaction to the substance. "By law, adverse reactions to drugs must be reported to FDA by doctors or pharmaceutical companies. But with sulfites and other food ingredients, reporting is voluntary so it's difficult to say just how many people may be at risk," cautions FDA consumer safety officer JoAnn Ziyad, Ph.D.
