Ferrous sulfate vs sulfa

I am interested in learning if Ferrous sulfate suppliments would cause a reaction in someone who is highly allergic to sulfa drugs. My pharmacist indicated there was some connection. I think that I have been experiencing a reaction to my pills: facial flushing, 'sunburn/poison ivy like feeling, severe itching on my neck, lips swollen. The skin on my entire body itches but not as badly as a sulfa reaction. My eyes itch. My nose constantly runs. Any thoughts?



Did you ever find an answer?



Did you ever find an answer to this question? I am very alergic to sulfa and have been experiencing the same problems. I am also 30 weeks pregnant, so it's very miserable. Any information you found would be appreciated.

Thank you!!!
