I am allergic to sulfa drugs. How likely is it that I’m also allergic to the sulfites in wine?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: allergic

I am allergic to sulfa drugs. I had a horrible reaction to Bactrim and was hospitalized. I want to know how likely it is that I’m also allergic to the sulfites in wine and dried fruit etc. I’ve never had more than one glass of wine at a time, but have noticed that when drinking it I get imediately red in the face, and often get a bad headache. Should I avoid it?

yes. if you like headaches, drink wine with sulfates. most wines have them.
