Just meekly saying I wasn’t hungry when the waiter asked if everything was ok. Now I have no shame and will just ask outright how something is cooked and ask what is actually in something. I’m not paying if it has got something in it that I can’t or won’t eat.

Initially the problem aggravated. So I took Alegra as prescribed and avoided all the food I am allergic to. Once I unknowingly had an item that had curd in a friend’s party. After knowing about it I was expecting to have allergies, but that didn’t happen. So I took a chance and had another item with dairy products after in a small amt after about 15 days and I sneaked with it too. Since then I have been experimenting being unaffected. Sometimes if the amount is more I may have allergies. In that I either increase the gap or have an allegra, depending on the severity.

But I do have a few friends who do and have sadly ended up in the hospital for being too trusting at a restaurant. I’d hate to work in the industry, but you really really have to take food allergies seriously.

I was seriously put off it when I had it in a small village restuarant in Austria about 10 years ago and it was cooked in far too much garlic, smothered in cream and like rubber! Sorry for all your food allergies though GiGi. Did you have many troubles finding something to eat when you were in Scotland that time? You know the time you ignored me? 😆

Actually, after I saw one your Instagram posts about it, haha! I feel like Mediterranean food is one of those cuisines where it’s less stressful to order allergen-free meals. One of many reasons to like it!

NOBODY wants to visit the ER after what seemed like an enjoyable meal. Hopefully I don’t die from a meal that has a little dairy in it, or even something completely TOXIC!

Oh 10000% I feel for chefs, restaurant owners, etc because navigating this is so so so so so difficult – I mean, even just pleasing people in general is DIFFICULT so I give you LOTS of credit for wanting and trying to do what you do!! I also love that you want to get TRAINED to cook gluten free!!! You make me happy!

It’s easy for me now, but for newly diagnosed people – not so much, that’s for sure!

And I am sure that’s one of the only restaurants she ever wants to go to as well, right? Cause that’s how I am! When I find a place, that’s my GO TO spot!

Yeah! The tips seem to work for me pretty well so that’s good! 🙂 Happy to hear you don’t have any!
