She had a severe reaction to sulfa medications as a child. If this ends up being the case, you may want to be wary of commercially made dried coconut as well (very high in sulfites).
PedOncoDoc, and RedFlag1 -

I had been told that before - about the sulfites - and found it to be true. I just wish I could afford the organic wines! <g> Thanks for the advice...
