I bought some CBD cream, CBD oil mixed with coconut oil to make it solid at room temperature. I put it on my ankle for the pain from an improperly healing break. about 45 minutes later I had tachycardia bad enough to go to the hospital.

I get tachycardia when I ingest over my limit of sulfites, but have never had a reaction like this to anything external.

I would think that if there were sulfites in CBD oil, they would say so. I thought that they had to be listed if in a product. I have used CBD oil made from hemp and the first few times I used it, I felt like my heartbeat increased a little. Not sure if that was it or something else. Sometimes if my blood sugar goes too high, I get palpitations. I hope you find out what's going on.

I wish they did have to list all additives, but they only have to list sulfites if over 100 ppm. Look at lemon juice in the little lemon-shape bottles. They do have sulfite listed and the amount.

I'm away from home right now, but I plan to try just the oil when I can get it. I hope anyone who reacts to sulfites will chime in here.

I've been doing some research on sulfites in coconut oil, and have found that if the product is refined (RBD) it may be sulfited. Lots of people report a coconut oil, and dried flaked coconut, allergy.

My son and I used cbd oil, the full spectrum water soluble from Hemplucid and both tolerated it well. We were giving it to my son orally and topically for eczema/severe contact dermatitis. I took it orally and helped me a great deal too.
I recently realized that we both also have an intolerance or allergy to sulfites.
We were exposed to mold and we have both become super sensitized. I have a hard time bathing, no matter what I use or even plain water for washing the laundry it smells weird and causes both of us to shake and I have palpitations. We rarely leave the house because it's so hard to wear clean clothing. I've wondered if the mold exposure had made us more sensitive and I can say definitely yes. My previously controlled asthma, using no meds for it, has now become severe uncontrolled allergic asthma and my 2 year old son is now ashmatic too. My family and hubby think that I'm crazy, but I know what I feel, smell and how my body feels. My son is becoming anaphylactic to certain foods and lactose free milk in just the past few days. Tonight he had swollen lips and a stuffy, itchy nose from a few cheddar cheese potatoe chips that he has previously eaten with no problems. Today was also when I food challenged myself to see if it really is sulfites causing the majority of our problems. It's definitely sulfites. Any guidance or information would be greatly appreciated!

It's dangerous to do food challenges at home when you have bad reactions. I also know it's expensive to do it in a doctor's office, but you should consult an allergist about this sensitivity.

Do some reading on the many sulfite posts in this forum. Just put sulfite and any other key words you are interested in in the "custom search" box at the top of the page. I don't know if it's possible for mold to cause sensitivity to sulfite or anything else.

Don't buy any fast food, processed food, or food on sulfite lists that contains high amounts of sulfite. It's not possible to avoid all sulfite. Keep a journal for both you and your son. Plain water should not contain sulfite unless it's well water, but you can find a local laboratory and have it tested. Municipalities also have water tested and you can ask where their test results are available.

Search for "food journal" or "food diary." If you are sure you have a sulfite intolerance you can calculate the amount you tolerate from the formula in http://www.learningtarget.com/nosulfites/.
