[quote=Anonymous]I am the head of a small DC non-profit and about a year ago I was diagnosed with 2 (adult onset) food allergies. I was just invited to a high-level, invitation only dinner and it asked for allergy and meal preferences. I answered by feel embarrassed that I have to ask for special meals. I worry it will keep me from getting invited to things like this or might inhibit my professional growth. This is new for me. How do you handle in professional settings, like at a work dinner or big gala type thing? In the past year, I"ve accidentally exposed myself to allergens many times at work-related lunches and dinners. Not good.[/quote]
