Food allergies ARE VERY REAL.
I’m allergic to shellfish. So quick and profound a reaction, I avoid eating out, but if I HAVE to (sometimes its unavoidable) I let the staff know of my issue. Cross containinmation can cause a reaction for me where my lips, throat, tongue swell; esophagus next. I carry 2 EpiPens (a new treatment protocol for severe reactions) low dose for initial reaction; dose 2 for transport time to ER. You know what happens to a other healthy person with 1 dose of epinephrine? Your heart rate goes crazy...so now there is an admission and 24 hrs of cardiac monitoring...for me it happened all because someone prepped a steak I ordered placed shrimp on the plate realized that wasnt what I had ordered and brought the plate out of the kitchen to me.
Yeah. That was a laugh a minute.
FWIW, my daughter has celiacs (we believe one of our sons does to, he avoids gluten).

So are hypochondria and self-centered victimhood.
NB: I’m not suggesting your allergy isn’t real or that you are a hypochondriac.
