Alcohol

[Selbourn]

Following my latest flair for ANCA Vascilitus, and after treatment with Rituximax I read all info on the drugs including Pred and found no warnings about alcohol. I had abstained for 8 years since first diagnosis but have now started 'cooking with wine' can't put it in the food as my wife is on drugs for Alzheimer's which do forbid it!

All good and makes the evening pass peacefully and helps with the sleep!!

the alcohol disappears during cooking

[agingfeminist in reply to HamishPMR]

actually quite a lot remains even if you boil enthusiastically...after an hour of boiling a sauce(heavens forbid) 25% still there.

Enjoy that glass 🍷it is what I have done for past 7 years with PMR - no ill effects, at least none that I have noticed!

If you are COOKING with wine, the alcohol is driven off by the heat, once a sauce boils the alcohol is gone! Only the flavour is left ...

[agingfeminist in reply to PMRpro]

not according to the data I have...see reply above...if you aren't allowed alcohol you shouldn't cook with it

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to agingfeminist]

But it is 5% after 2 1/2 hours in a slow cooker ...
