What Foods Can Help Fight Sulfite Intolerance?
Question: I haven't heard my heartbeat in my ear in over a week.
I went to an ENT & an allergist. I tested negative to all food allergies, negative for celiac disease.
I seem to have a problem with food additives, but not sure which ones.
Allergist thought sulfites. Can you offer a list of suggestions of things in food to avoid. The closer to whole foods I get the less problems I have.
Suggestions?
