What I have is not so much of an allergy as an intolerance. There are a lot of foods I can no longer eat, mostly due to their additives, without getting a 3-day migraine. I've noticed they're usually foods I ate quite a bit of when I was younger, and didn't have any issue with them then. It does make me wonder...
I can't eat anything with sulfites or sodium nitrite. Doesn't sound so bad, until you realize sulfites rule out anything that's cooked with wine, and it seems like everything is. The sodium nitrite means I can't have pepperoni, beef jerky, hot dogs, bologna and a lot of deli meats. I also have trouble with more than a little bit of chocolate. Red and blue food coloring give me heartburn.
Yup, it really sucks.
