Is there a tip for that, too?Well I've never tried it with Sulfites, but when I had a mild allergic reaction to antibiotics and an ensuing panic attack because I felt I couldn't swallow I remembered Lar had told me about Niacinimide lessening allergic reactions, and calming. I was terrified, I had no phone, and didn't know whether I should go to a neighbors to call a cab to go to emergency-- so scary.
Anyway, I took two niacinimide tablets and crushed one under my tongue within 15 minutes I was fine. I'm one of those people who hears about miracle vitamins or herbs and thinks "why aren't they ever miraculous for me? This was a miracle. I ended up e-mailing Lar something gushy like "Thank God for you!" Now I take it whenever I feel like I might be having a reaction to something I've eaten.
What was my point? Oh yes, you can try niacinimide. It's not expensive either.
Of course you should take a B-complex sometime during the day as well or you can cause an imbalance.
