[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! This says a lot about you OP, than anyone else in the family.  If one of my nieces and nephews had a dietary restriction, the whole extended family would be[b] devastated [/b]and we would work around that.

I am sure the parents of the child with celiac are not starving their children.  Your kids can eat the same kinds of foods too.

Devastated? Over a "dietary" restriction?  :roll:

Here lies the problem. There are many things to be devastated about. A dietary [i]restriction [/i]is not one of them.

The OP showed was open to suggestions and willing to be flexible.  All of you piling on are either trolls or narcissists. [/quote]

NP. My nephew has a severe nut allergy. Through absolutely no fault of his own, or his parents (a careless moment with an informed grandparent was at fault), he's been in the ER and suffering from severe symptoms. And it sucks that a lot of holiday foods and fun foods are avoided or altered at family gatherings. Devastated is probably the wrong word. But yeah, you feel compassion for the little guy and his family, and you want to help and make life easier![/quote]

#1 - A severe allergy is different then a food sensitivity. #2 - devastated is absolutely the wrong word, over the top and disproportionate.

The OP has shown a great deal of compassion for her nephew. [/quote]
