Hello Jan,
I think your advice is quite reasonable -- "if she is allergic ..."
As far as sulfa allergies and high-sulfur foods, there may very well be a
connection for some people. I have recently (past 1.5 -2 years) been suffering
with sulfite-sensitivity, leading sometimes straight to the ER with
anaphylactic (or some feel, more properly, anaphylactoid) reactions. I must avoid
sulfites (difficult, because they are ubiquitous), and cannot eat some foods high
in sulfur, I also cannot take sulfa meds. It is difficult to get much
information on my problem, so I have joined an online support group; many people
there report the same sulfite-sulfur-sulfa connection.

If the mother is allergic to cabbage, she should not use it.
If she eats cole slaw or cabbage in any form, she isn't allergic to cabbage
and can use the leaves.
While yes, there is sulfur in both cabbage and sulfa drugs, my dh, the
pharmacist, says he has NEVER heard of anyone who is allergic to sulfa drugs
being
allergic to cabbage and/or being told to stay away from cabbage because
they
are allergic to oh, say, Bactrim.
