> So sulfites are alike or same as sulfa containing drugs, I take it. Some peeps allergic.Sulfides are found in wine (used for aromatic,
or preservative purposes), dry fruits, many foods that need preservation apparently. The FDA is trying to put a label on all. I found an interesting article on Wikipedia - take a look at The Straight Dope too.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfite

> I've always gravitated towards white wines.Me too. But this was a wine for an occasion which was missed, so we drank it - Made in Canada, hmm. I also drank some that a friend introduced as "made in Canada" without the usual processing -- whatever that meant, but it did have a strange, sweet aroma and went down easy, but gave me a head bash and landed me in the ER.

> I am not allergic to sulfa. Wonder does white wine contain sulfites? Guess look @ bottle.
I don't think so.I just read that SYNTHROID does (i take that)
-- yikes! but the amount of Sulfites probably varies and the allergic reaction ranges from what i had to death from anaphylactic shock.As for interactions -- i have been too lazy to look at lithium and sulfites - i will later -- still have the remnants of that headache surprisingly. I am not allergic to many things: shrimp -- but i just found out that they spray shrimp and seafood with sulfites so maybe people are actually allergic to the sulfites and not the seafood.
