I have never heard of this but was it red crystal light? I have a friend that is allergic to red food coloring and the same thing happens to her! Just wondering!

Hi! i hope im answeing this the correct way...since im new and i don't know if im posting this correctly. I had taken Sunrise crystal light and it's orange flavored. The doctor at the ER told me that was the worst thing to drink,yet my doctors office recomends it. The ER doctor said it is all artificial and just chemicals. He also told me to look for some color free or natural mutil vitamines. I had never had this happen to me before and it sure was a scary ordeal!! At the ER they gave me a few things to drink one was a steroid, Benadryl, and some thing for the asid in my stomach. They also did some chest Xrays because i also have a bad cough, thank god that came back clear! but i guess some people get a nasty cough because of the intubation during surgery?? I am now affraid of taking my multivitamines. I started to eat too, this was exciting for me I had 1/4 of a cup of cottage cheese and a piece of turkey and oh that was the best ever!! sorry to give this long story but i have no one else that i can share this with since all my family was very scared of this whole ordeal.. ok my friends have a great day
