What kind of symptoms you can experience from added sulfites in food/water/medicines/environment etc. ? Many. And not everyone will have the same symptoms either, and that is why it might be hard to figure out if are you reacting to sulfites or something else in the food/drinks/environment.
You should also remember that sulfites are histamine liberators and many will experience a combined reaction to sulfites and histamines at the same time. Also many foods which have added sulfites are also high in histamines.
