What am I alergic to in V8 Fusion?!
Question: I recently began getting really bad migraines. I went to the doctor and she said that it didn't sound like an actual migraine. She prescribed to me Maxalt and Loritab. I took the loritab with V8 fusion and about 15 min later I couldnt breathe and passed out at school. I found out that I am allergic to Loritab. About a week later I realized that every time I drink V8 Fusion that its harder for me to breathe and almost instantly get a migraine. I am trying to figure out what it is in the V8 fusion that I would be allergic to.

The way an allergist works is that he makes a scratch on your back. Into each abraded area, he places one sample of each of the spores to which you are exposed each day. The next day, he checks each of the areas. The ones that are red or inflamed are those spores to which you are allergic.
Maybe your allergist could test you for each of the ingredients in a Fusion V8. Then you could know for sure.
Check out the ingredients on the label on the bottle. The first two or three are the main components of the drink. If water is the primary ingredient, it is the water available where the drink is bottled. If tomato juice is in the top three, take a small sip to see if you have a reaction/
Better yet, let the doctor figure it out.
were you drinking a specific flavor each time? since there are 4 i think, its kinda hard to help. sorry
Stop drinking V8 fusion immediately. You may have a reaction that could kill you.
too much junk in it to know specifically without allergy testing. toss out the drink, keep a migraine diary, and follow up with an allergist and neurologist.
