Avoid sulfites. Sulfites can trigger asthma symptoms in some people with moderate to severe asthma. Used as a preservative, sulfites can be found in wine, dried fruits, pickles, fresh and frozen shrimp, and some other foods. Avoid allergy-triggering foods.
If you experience more serious symptoms of a sulfite allergy, contact your doctor. Anaphylaxis requires emergency medical attention. According to the Cleveland Clinic, people with asthma have between a 1 in 10 and 1 in 20 chance of having a reaction to sulfites. Sulfites are common in processed foods, condiments, and alcoholic beverages, such as red and white wine. Sulfites occur naturally in wine during fermentation, and many winemakers add them to help the process along.
