AceOfSwords Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I don't consume much alcohol but I do want to add it back though the re-introduction phase to see what the effect is on me. My issue is, of the 3 alcohols I am likely to continue drinking (on a very infrequent basis), 2 seem like they would overlap with added sugar and the third might overlap with sulfites. So out of the options of ice wine (not added sugar but very sweet wine and sulfites maybe), Disarrono amaretto (sugar maybe) and brandy (sulfites maybe) which should I use to test my reaction to alcohol? Or do I try reintroducing a limited amount of sugar or sulfites in a different form first so I can tell the difference between my body's reaction to these items? I'm only on day 9, so I have a ways to go, but I'm curious now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin R. Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I am Day 31 today and plan to have a glass of wine tonight to celebrate. As I understand it naturally occurring sugars and sulfites are fine. I am interested to hear what the experts have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Sugar is unlikely to invoke a physical reaction, nor does it require an official reintroduction of it's own although many choose to carry one out. The sulphites on the other hand.... I'd be inclined to test alcohol with the amaretto (having already tried sugar in some way shape or form), and do a separate (non alcohol) test for sulphites (although personally I wouldn't reintroduce them), and then move on to sulphite containing alcohol for absolute clarity.

Question: From what I have read the naturally occurring sulfites are fine so if they are not listed as an ingredient, but say contains sulfites you do not have to be concerned. All wines and many vinegars, etc. contain natural sulfites which occur as part of the fermenting process. I had a wine on Wednesday that contained sulfites, but did not have any added sulfites. I had no response to the wine or the naturally occurring sulfites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 @Robin R.- I'm not sure what your question is? I was referring to added sulphites if that's what you meant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin R. Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I believe that answers my question. The wine bottle says contains sulfites. There is no ingredient list so I assume that means they are naturally occurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennR Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Just a reminder: as with any reintroduction, be sure to have the thing you are reintroducing at every meal. (Sample reintro for alcohol: mimosa with breakfast, beer with lunch, wine with dinner.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 also be careful if alcohol is a gateway for bad food choices! *raises hand* guilty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I saw other examples where you could only have it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
