Apple Juice

[Deanna C. Cornelius]

Hello,
	I am both a consulting nutritionist and a master's student of clinical 
dietetics.  However, I have yet to find any information (from literature or otherwise) 
about possible apple juice sensitivities, but not to apples.

	I loved apple juice as a child.  A few years ago, however, I began having severe 
reactions to the juice (pure, no additives) similar to an asthmatic attack, but I don't 
suffer from asthma.  It feels as if my trachea and esophogus contracts resulting in 
serious chest pain and pain into the shoulders.  A similar reaction occurs after 
consuming foods containing sulphur dioxide, which I know I'm allergic to.  Could I be 
allergic to apple juice?  I can eat apples just fine.  This rxn has occurred only in 
pure apple juice with no additives.  

	Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you,
