This was misdiagnosed as asthma. As I got older my "asthma" attacks got worse. There was no real rhyme or reason to the attacks, and I was trying all I could to prevent them. My doctor told me to drink Gatorade to keep my body better hydrated. Well, I was drinking the red Gatorade, and I was going into the ER about once every two weeks! I stopped breathing during two separate attacks!! Each attack would mean another round of steroids, which are horrible. Finally, after yet another trip to the ER, a nurse asked me if I had eaten or drank anything red. I told her about the Gatorade. She then told me about a doctor on staff who's son had the same reaction to Red #40, and that they could time the attack to happen about 30 minutes after he would consume it. It was like lightning had struck! I could remember consuming something red (or that would include red, like purple) before every major attack I could recall! Even my very first attack at the age of 4 happened after eating a popsicle! My favorite was red, of course. I still have asthma, but now it is mild and makes sense. I am triggered by certain pollens and weather changes. It is now very easily controlled and I have not been to the ER for an attack since eliminating not just Red #40, but all dyes. The way I figure, if one dye is capable of literally killing me within minutes, who knows what the others are capable of? Eliminating dyes requires reading labels and asking questions at restaurants, but this is a small price to pay to know that I will be able to breathe. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't have a reaction to a dye, additive, medication, MSG, food, or whatever! If you suspect a reaction to something, take it out of your diet. If you are looking for triggers, keep a food log and a symptom log. I have nothing against doctors, but they are only human and don't have all the answers. Some can also deny or dismiss that there is even a problem. Listen to your body. No one knows it better than you.
