Sensitivity to Sulphites: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Have you ever drunk a glass of wine, only to develop a headache or a snuffly nose 30 minutes later? I know I certainly have. Sulphite sensitivity is more common than many people realise. It’s a condition where a person’s ability to break down or remove sulphites is compromised. It comes with a wide range of symptoms, which can be most easily described as being allergy-like. People with asthma are often sensitive to sulphites. Sulphite sensitivity is also closely linked to histamine intolerance.

But just because you have a sensitivity to sulphites doesn’t mean you’re powerless. There are plenty of things you can do to improve your condition and make life more enjoyable.
