[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much ignorance here. Allergies are not the only reason to avoid a food. My friend has chronic kidney stones and has to avoid oxalates (strawberries, spinach etc) -- she's not "allergic." I have an autoimmune disease that is worsened (not caused) by dairy and gluten. It sucks big time to not eat these foods, but I wouldn't have an allergic reaction if I did, yet it would be terrible for my health. I agree you don't need to make a fuss about things, but you don't know everyone's medical history. [/quote] +1 I know someone who is gluten sensitive and feels unwell if she eats gluten, but she’s not sensitive enough that cross contamination causes a reaction. Her brother, however, has celiac and cannot even eat off of a plate that ever had gluten on it, even if it’s been washed many times. He cannot eat at other people’s homes or in restaurants. Meanwhile, my friend can eat any gluten free product.[/quote]
