Default Christmas Food

Hi, this is a weird question but I wanted to ask if anyone has had a flare up or increase in their PN due to some of the Christmas foods infused with extracts, and alcohol?

I had a PN flare (autoimmune PN) for 10 hours after eating icecream infused with a Grand Marnier extract swirl (0.7%) alcohol.

My sister in law has fibromyalgia and MS and she had a flare of her fibro and her feet started burning eating Christmas pudding from the supermarket with Paul's Brandy flavoured sauce. The sauce has no alcohol but has brandy flavouring. I believe the Xmas pudding had raisins and alcohol extract in it. (Small amount)

Anyways we were discussing this and wondered how common this might be? I just find this kind of odd because children can eat this stuff so the strong stuff in it would be negligible.

Thank you.
Aussie
