It does seem that today everybody has an allergy or more! I didn't have any until recently. I have found out that preservatives, sulphites and sulphur dioxide gives me rashes. So I do try and stay away from these ingredients. I still shop in normal supermarkets, It doesn't take long to find which foods contain these items. So I know fairly well what foods I can eat and what to avoid. I do get caught out sometimes when eating out or shopping for food on holidays when I buy different products and brands to the normal. My rash reminds me if I forget to check the label first. Then usually I check the label later and will undoubtedly find the culprit. Sometimes you have to look for the numbers as well as know how manufacturers try to disguise these ingredients by giving them different names. So fresh is best. No worries there.
