Allergies of sulfur containing preservatives?!
Question: What are the symptoms of these particular allergies? Sulfur dioxide, Sodium metabisulfate...? MSG? I know I'm allergic to sulfur from medicines, is it the same as sulfur in foods? Thanks for all your help!

This is a bit technical, but it explains the difference between sulfa drugs and sulfites, among other things:

I am allergic to sulfa drugs, but not to sulfites. The sulfa drugs first didn't work, then I broke out in a rash/hives.

My mother was extremely allergic to sulfites and any antibiotics - but she was allergic to a host of other things, too. Sulfites seemed to give her itchy eyes, nausea, double vision and also affected her breathing.

MSG is an even different critter:

I am also allergic to sulfur medicines.. I would like to know too :)
reactions vary with each individual.
