Has anyone had any problems with elderflower cordial or drinks containing elderflower extract ?  Had a reaction today, felt fine, but when talking my brain and my mouth were definitely disconnected - it was if I'd been drinking.  The only thing I could think of was Sparkling mineral water with elderflower - any suggestions?
 
Happy New Year.

Are you allergic to moulds (from flower heads) or sulphites likely to be found in the cordial? Also if lemon is used in the cordial have you considered salicylate sensitivity?

Hi Ali, Its nice to share these problems with some one else. I had an untraceable reaction on Wednesday, it wiped out the day. I think it might have been tinned mackerel with a spicey sauce - latex gloves or component of the sauce? I'll never know. We never go back to retest bad experiences so we never get to check!
 
 
It occurred to me that Elderflower may be full of pollen. Do you get hay fever?
 
Good luck.
 
Best wishes
