Typing error in my last post. Meant to say re: erythromycin "this contains sulphites".
To vickid63 - I have similar symptoms to you, after being given many drugs in hospital. I was fine before that!! Anyway I have bronchial asthma, am alergic to the same things you are - but on one of these fab.sites I saw a comment by someone that the racing heart is probably caused my an alergic reaction to sulfites. As I cannot eat food with this in either, I have looked into this further. Wheat and almost everything we buy contains sulfites in some form. I have a very bad reaction to erythromycin, and I checked out this as well. This contains erthomycin !! So we may be getting somewhere.!! Could it be "not the foods" but the sulfites in them that we are allergic to. Perhaps that's why it's so hard to find a solution. If the person is out there who posted this sulfites issue, please e-mail me. Sheila
