jerryskids 5,206 Posted March 22, 2018 I used to work with a guy who has a severe shellfish allergy. So of course he went with us to a sushi place. Without his epi pen. The Asian guy with us knew the owner and asked for some soup that wasn't on the menu; allergy guy takes a sip and afterwards reaches his spoon into the pot to dredge up some shellfish. Uh oh. Just sipping on the broth almost closed his throat. We were ready to call an ambulance but luckily it was so diluted that he recovered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,640 Posted March 22, 2018 Back in the day, this went on a business trip with arm manager. They went to a nice restaurant, because our manager weighs about 300 pounds and is a big old Nebraska fed girl. They started wolfing down bread and butter like you was going out of style. Pretty soon the dude's face turned bright red and his throat started closing. This restaurant was knowing and pretty famous for its lobster butter. Lol This restaurant was smart enough to have a stock of epipens behind the counter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,640 Posted March 22, 2018 gluten is the big one Correction. Gluten is a big one for the 1% of the people who complain about gluten because they have legitimate illness or sensitivity to it. The other 99% are just looking to be high maintenance . Excuse me? Are these ice cubes gluten free? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted March 23, 2018 Lol Id be shocked if you knew a single gluten allergic person I have 2 examples here. My good college friend, Aargyle(some may know him from other sites or IBL), his wife was sickly almost the entire time in her 20's and early 30's. We are talking 5'3" 80-90 pounds, etc. Finally a doctor tested her for celiac disease and immediately her life turned around. Then there is my mother in law. She went to see a doctor to get tested for celiac disease and it came back negative, so she went to a different doctor and that test came back negative. She still thinks that she has celiac disease along with a host of other food issues. The most baffling of which is she thinks she is allergic to soy. My mother in law was born and raised in Indonesia and she was dirt poor. She grew up eating soy sauce with every meal until she was in her early 50's. Do you know how hard it is to eat out with an asian that refuses to eat soy or gluten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Occasionally for kids though. gluten is the big one Most people who avoid gluten dont do so because of true allergy - they may be intolerant, or think avoiding it is healthy. Celiac disease isnt technically allergy either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted March 23, 2018 Didn't realize that Aargyle's wife was sick like that, or that he was your college friend. Hope it all works out. She is better now and this was years ago, It was the undiagnosed celiac disease causing the issue. Also I probably exaggerated the issue by accident. We were good friends for many years, both him and his wife were even in my families fantasy football league for almost a decade, and they even attended my sisters wedding, etc. I do not keep in touch with him much anymore though and probably have not talked to him in 7 years. I was hoping that he would move over to the geek club after the livewire issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,206 Posted March 24, 2018 I seem to be allergic to sea scallops but thats it. Never known anyone with a nut allergy, cept my wife When I was young I had a huge coughing fit one night, so bad apparently that I did the allergy tests with the pin pricks on my back. Sweet jeebus, according to the results it was a wonder I was alive -- dust, pollen, all kinds of foods (I remember apricots. Really? They test for apricots in podunkville PA?). Also feathers. So I got a foam pillow which was mildly newfangled back in the day at my grandma's house where we were living at the time, everything was fine, and I've essentially almost never experienced allergic symptoms since, including subsequent sleeping on feather pillows. Although I did have acne as a kid and young adult, and I could see such allergies affecting that (I personally believe that acne is much more impacted by internal factors like stress, sleep, possibly allergies and/or immunological challenges than the dermatology industry seems to think).
