People with a bisulfites allergy may experience difficulty in breathing due to the inflammatory response of the immune system. This may manifest as shortness of breath or a feeling of breathlessness, which can be uncomfortable and even scary for the person experiencing it.
Abdominal pain is another common symptom of bisulfites allergy. This happens when the body's immune system reacts to the allergen by increasing inflammation in the digestive system, leading to pain and discomfort in the abdomen.
Vomiting and diarrhea are the body's way of getting rid of the allergen quickly. These symptoms usually occur shortly after the consumption of bisulfites and can be severe in some cases.
Rashes or hives appear on the skin due to the body's inflammatory response to the bisulfites allergen. This leads to red, itchy bumps or patches on the skin that can be highly uncomfortable.
People with a bisulfites allergy may also experience symptoms like a runny nose or nasal congestion. These symptoms happen when the immune system triggers inflammation in the nasal passages in response to the allergen.
In severe cases, a bisulfites allergy can lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, a sudden drop in blood pressure, rapid pulse, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. Immediate medical attention is required if anaphylaxis occurs.
Recognize your symptoms?
If you suspect you have an allergy to Bisulfites, recognizing the symptoms and then consulting with an allergist can help confirm your suspicion. Follow these steps:
Identify Common Bisulfites Allergy Symptoms
Consult with an Allergist
An allergist can perform tests to confirm a bisulfites allergy. These may include a skin prick test or a blood test. They will also review your medical history and symptoms. Informing your allergist about any foods or drinks that have triggered reactions can help to establish a diagnosis.
Undergo a Food Challenge
In some cases, an allergist might conduct a supervised oral food challenge. You will consume small amounts of foods or liquids containing bisulfites in a controlled medical environment to monitor for reactions.
Through these steps, you can confirm whether or not you have a bisulfites allergy. Note that bisulfites are found in various foods and drinks and are often used to preserve food color and prolong shelf-life. Always read food labels carefully and avoid products with bisulfites if you have been diagnosed with this allergy.

Am I eligible?
It's important for you to know exactly what bisulfites are, where they can be found and what they do. They are additives commonly used in food preparation and wine processing, but they can also be present in some prescription drugs. Becoming aware of these facts is the first step towards preventing allergic reactions.
Processed foods are the most common source of bisulfites. It is often used as a preservative in products like cold cuts, frozen foods, and canned goods. Making a concerted effort to purchase and consume fresh foods can drastically reduce the risk of exposure.
Make it a habit to always check food and beverage labels for bisulfites. They are often listed as 'sulfites', so be wary of any products with this ingredient. Also, some products might mention that they 'may contain' sulfites; avoiding these products is a good precaution.
If you suspect you have a bisulfite allergy, it's crucial to see a professional. An allergist can conduct tests to confirm if you have the allergy and can give you advice on how to avoid bisulfites and manage potential reactions.
