Hi there Suzy

Don't worry about MSM and sulphur allergies.  My mum-in-law is allergic to 
sulphur drugs and foods, but she tolerates MSM well, as do other people with 
the same problem.  Start with small amounts and build up.  Here is some info on 
sulphur for you.

this is on MSM:

"Sulfur is one of the most basic and important elements of organic life and in 
humans, sulfur performs a variety of key functions:
1.  Sulfur is needed to form crucial blood proteins and amino acids including 
methiionine, cystine, cysteine and taurine.  In our bodies, sulfur provides 
chemical bonds that actually hold the molecular structure of these
proteins together.
2.  Sulfur also provides the chemical links that are needed to form collagen in 
the body (the protein found in connective tissue).  So without these sulfur 
bonds, we (and other animals) would essentially be shapeless pools of 
protoplasm.
3.  Because sulfur forms both the collagen and keratin in the body it is often 
called the 'beauty mineral'.  It is essential for thick and lustrous hair, 
blemish-free skin and hard healthy nails.
4.  Sulfur acts as a synthesizer and activator of thiamin, vitamin C, biotin 
and pantothenic acid
5.  Sulfur is used by the liver to manufacture bile, a key element used in 
digestion
6.  Sulfur is essential in maintaining the body's crucial PH (acid/alkaline) 
balance
7.  Studies show that sulfur is an important component in insulin production 
and plays a significant role in carbohydrate metabolism, which is particularly 
important for diabetics and hypoglycemics.
