Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) aren't typical food allergens, so there isn't specific guidance available for avoiding them in the context of food allergies.

For the most accurate and personalized advice, it's really important to work with an allergist. They can help identify hidden sources of these ingredients in foods and products, and create a management plan tailored to your needs.

In general, some good habits for managing any food allergy include:

- Reading ingredient labels carefully every time
- Avoiding products that list vague terms like "natural flavoring" or "seasoning" without specifics
- Being cautious with premade sauces, soups, and packaged foods where additives are common
- Letting anyone preparing your food know about your allergies
- Carrying an epinephrine auto-injector if your allergist has prescribed one for severe reactions
