[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow--you all know some crazy people...my DH has celiac and if he could eat gluten without suffering awful cramps and explosive diarrhea he would (he wasn't diagnosed until his late 20s)....who would not eat gluten just because??? Crazy.[/quote]

Op here. I have a friend with celiac and another with hashimoto. I know they have this. They do not burden host with their dietary restrictions and make it about them when we go out to eat. These are not the people I am venting about. They quietly order what they can eat. The kids who have true life threatening allergies bring own food or won’t trust what is on the table often.

It is the fake GF who annoy me. They are NOT allergic. They just make it inconvenient for the host.

One mom decided it is healthier to be GF and makes school parents suffer through this GF for every school meal. She is so annoying.[/quote]

Definitely agree that people with real allergies actually tend to be the most likely to [b]not[/b] make a big deal about it. That said, [b]they are also often very grateful if you do[/b], of your own initiative, make sure they can eat as well as everyone else.[/quote]
Oh yes! Allergy mom here and I and our DC sometimes cry when one of their friends’ mom would call asking about certain ingredients or products. I’ll never forget the first birthday party when DC could eat the same cupcake as everyone else because [i]that[/i] mom had gone through the trouble to source something dairy-free (this was 15+ yrs ago when there were few DF alternatives, esp ones you’d want to eat). DC was anaphylactic, not merely intolerant, and you wouldn’t believe how many folks didn’t piece together that also meant no cheese, ice cream, or yogurt.

Thank you to all who are so considerate (even though I usually sent an alternative or DC learned to say “no, thank you” even when she really, really want to partake).[/quote]
