"pure Grain Alcohol?"


GFAnnie

Recommended Posts

I have a bottle of elderberry syrup for my celiac kids (supposed to help boost immune system because they're catching EVERYTHING this winter!) and I noticed that it contains "Pure grain alcohol."  I'm so confused about alcohols and what is and is not okay.  Because it is "pure" grain alcohol, does that make it gluten free and safe? I'd love to start giving this to them, but the point is to make them better not worse!
Thank you!

Distilled alcohol should be safe. Not sure what exactly you are talking about? I wouldn't give children grain alcohol or elderberry alcohol?

An explanation:

If you are concerned you could call the maker and ask what grain from which the alcohol is derived. It could be corn based.  I would be very cautious giving this to a child.

There is a product called Epicor... we have been taking this for several years to help keep us free of the colds, flu, virus that floats around in this planet. With kids in school they pick up everything & carry it home to share with the family....We have not had the flu .virus since beginning this product several years ago....It is a lifesaver for us....

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
