Food allergies are idiotic

Just found out the hard way that I'm allergic to bananas. I've been eating them damn near by the bushel all my life. Bulshit, man, bulls***.

Tell me about it. Peanuts do a real number on me.

My friend's wife developed an egg allergy a couple years ago. You don't quite realize that eggs are in just about everything until you realize you can't eat them.

I feel bad for a co-worker, he's allergic to chicken, shellfish and peanuts. If I were him, I would not enjoy my life. He's allergic to everything good.

The human body never stops changing; our chemicals and hormones are in a constant state of change, so our reactions to certain things can change on a dime.

Like plenty of other kids I was pretty damn picky about veggies when I was little, but carrots were always cool with me.

Fast forward years later, and now any time I eat baby carrots my lips puff up and my mouth hurts.

Cooked carrots are fine, and the irritation isn't quite so bad with regular carrots, but I'm convinced its whatever they package baby carrots in that gets to me.

Shellfish for me. Drives me a little nuts because the one time I tried some I loved it. Plus despite loving fish, going to seafood restaurants is a chore most of the time.

I'm not allergic to food. I'm allergic to carpet that is stupid.

Allergic to shellfish, almonds, and peanuts... full-on anaphylaxis with the first, just a bit of breathing trouble with the others. Happily, this has had an impressive effect on cutting out most fried foods (everything's done in the same fryer with the shrimp) and most candy (processed on peanut and tree-nut-processing equipment). So I'm much healthier. Not quite as happy, but much, much healthier.

I found out a few years ago I'm allergic to Milk. Milk is in everything and going out to eat is a pain. Some places are good about it, and others are not. I go full out anaphylaxis too, so I can't just hope for the best.

As a teacher I knew a kid who was allergic to pineapple which shocked me as I had never heard of that one before and pineapple is one of the greatest foods known to man

How do you allergic folks feel about grocery shopping? I went food shopping with my cousin when she was having food/health issues. The allergy free section was a small overpriced aisle of misfit toys.

My wife has a fake peanut allergy. Her mom told the school she had a peanut allergy so she didn't end up eating peanut butter and jelly every day (I guess the school had a crappy lunch program for poor kids). She's carried on the act ever since. She hates nuts, and finds it easier to say she is allergic so she doesn't have to eat it. It's so f***ing infuriating.

If we ever get divorced I'm shouting that her allergy is fake from the rooftops, and then giving all my relatives her family secret cookie recipe.

Yep, I was that kid who got peanuts banned at my school. I was never very popular...
