The American Lung Association (ALA) has identified key foods and drinks that people with asthma may wish to avoid because they may worsen asthma symptoms. These include: Foods that contain sulfites
Sulfites are a type of preservative often found in preserved food and drink, such as alcohol, pickled foods, bottled lemon and lime juice, and dried fruits. People with asthma who have high levels of sulfites in their diet may find their asthma symptoms worsen.
