Anyone else have food allergy?

It's so restricting and socially limiting if that makes sense. People think 'youre just trying to be skinny" or 'you dont want to eat' or that you have an eating disorder etc. I shouldn't have to tell people that I have a food allergy. I hate it. I hate dealing with it. I wish I had help with it all, or not to deal with it. I wish there were more options in stores.

yes, I have dangerous allergies to fish and tree nuts and it is limiting. I can't eat anything I don't know for sure what's in it, I can't have anything that's been in the same fryer as fish, I can't eat most nice chocolates. A lot of places don't clean their grill well enough.

Death by chocolate, literally.

@SW-User darn. Do you ever feel annoyed at work parties/potlucks and stuff when you cant have things? Docs said I have traces of celiac years ago. Im having more issues now so i want to be retested and see a nutritionists. Probably why i feel sick and tired all the time

@iamnikki People eat a lot of seafood where I live, too, and so it does tend to turn up at parties and the like. It can end up making other things inedible, too, if someone's not careful about keeping things like utensils strictly separate. Usually it's best to just stick to chips.
