Anyone else deal with them?

I'm allergic to all tree nuts. And I found out in November that I'm allergic to chickpeas after I ate one camping. It was not a fun trip cause my uvula was the size of a baby tomato.

Also what does Nutella and peanut butter taste like?

yeah because thats exactly how it works. I carry an epi-pen everywhere i go on a paracord necklace i made on for a mountaineering trip so it would use my body heat to not freeze. If you do have to use epinephrine, you have to get to the hospital. it doesnt prevent the reaction nor do anything to mend it. it merely buys you time to get medical attention. if you dont the reaction will continue and you will either die of cardiac arrest from the epi or suffocation from the reaction

Shellfish, gluten, and dairy haha. I was diagnosed at a rather young age so I don't think twice about what I miss but I'm always sketched out eating sushi out without my Epipen.

Someone said it above me but if anyone is ever in a situation with a friend that needs an Epipen you really do need to go to the hospital immediately after. They're wonderful devices but unfortunately they're ultimately just buying you time.

For peanut butter? Worth it

Really though, that sucks. A lot. I don't have any allergies myself outside of being mildly lactose intolerant. I have have tons of friends and family who have pretty intense celiac, which is pretty brutal.

Definitely thankful I don't have to worry about delicious, tasty things killing me.

I have a strange allergic reaction to human tears (yes, my own included). I break out in a rash tat eventually begins to dissolve my skin tissues. This makes it difficult to bathe in the tears of my enemies, but i am currently on medication that is helping. Nutella tastes like chocolate with a slight tint in it. Kind of bitter.

I'm lactose intolerant (not as extreme as allergic to milk). I'm also allergic (specifically) to wheat. THANK JAH, because I love beer and most beer is made from barley.

Lettuce wraps just aren't as good as a burger bun.

However, I'm very thankful for the gluten-free fad/craze because it's made my gluten-free options wayyyyy better. Gluten-free bread used to suck, and gluten-free oreos didn't exist until recently. Gluten-free matzo ball soup? Yes please!

I've had this happen. Twice, actually. Possibly the worst feeling ever. The fear of choking to death is a very scary thing.

Peanuts super bad, soybeans not fatal but definitely not fun. Just also discovered a chickpea allergy which has been escalating lately. Freaking frustrating.

I'm allergic to tree nuts but I can have peanuts. It's not that bad, I usually just get a stomach ache and hives. Sometimes my lips will swell but it's nothing life threatening. Usually I just take a few Benadryl and I'll be good.

I'm allergic to cats too. I know cats aren't a food but if I'm around cats too long I'll have symptoms of anaphylaxis. Kinda sucks because you can avoid food pretty easy but with cats I can't go to someone's house if they have one. So it's frustrating sometimes.
