What makes this worse is restaurants who can't tell you their ingredients lists. I just give up and get the most basic foods.
Then there are the things that no one believes: like the "shelled peanut problem"
I can eat peanuts, love them! but not if they have been shelled in a "facility" because whatever they do it gets some kind of other nut dust on them and down i go! Toss me the epipen it's gonna be a long night.
Allergies are so odd. Obscure but serious ones are annoying.
@futurebird why can't restaurants take personal health seriously? i thought that's what vegans really care about?
i have big problems with vegan culture, and the way a lot of vegans treat criticism of their racism, lack of care about the workers picking their veg, lack of giving any fucks about poverty and food deserts, and lack of care about how various peoples' diet works, as being completely anti-vegan, and will not listen, and will call you a hateful murderer behind your back if you won't swallow their bullshit whole.

@futurebird I used to think I was allergic to peanuts and was surprised when I didn't test for it. It turns out many peanuts are processed on equipment shared with cashews and that's what I'm allergic to!

Most of the vegans I know have grown out of that. Or ... I don't hang around them anymore LOL.
But I know a lot of chill vegans.

If you get peanuts in the shell you will be safe and can enjoy them.
But shelling peanuts is a bit tedious.

@futurebird there are some popular long-standing accounts around fedi behind whom are people i've mutually blocked because they don't give a single fuck about the humans being exploited to provide them with any food at all.

I hate how my allergies make me seem like a republican.
Can't eat sunflowers so people think I hate "seed oils" (the other ones are fine, it's just the sunflowers they are deadly)
Can't eat most vegan meats because these people always want to put sunflowers 'n nuts and chickpeas in them.
Generally suspicious of vegan food because of the whole nut issue, even though I really like it when there are no nuts.
@futurebird
My immune system allergies out to all sorts of things EXCEPT nuts.There are vegan “Meats” made from
Mushroom Proteins that are quite good.Soybean Allergy?

@futurebird @jonquass Oh, it's just a capitalist "what does this mean in the market" binary thinking thing :(

@futurebird you have my sympathy. I’m sensitive to gluten, but much much worse for me is Xanthan Gum and this is used in most gluten free products. I do my own triage.

@futurebird I have a fun one! Something that likes to grow on (or is produced by something that grows on) temperature-abused cooked meat dishes. Eat a dish and it's fine, eat the leftovers that weren't fridged until a couple hours later than ideal, and there's a small chance I get anaphylaxis from it. Took years to figure out the pattern because there was no shared ingredient among the triggers!
I started being a real hardass about either keeping the food hot/refrigerating the leftovers promptly, and not eating meat leftovers unless I was confident that those had occurred (even at some risk of offending someone that I didn't trust their food handling). Still rarely got it from restaurants. Started vetting restaurants by checking to see if they had a pattern of food holding temperature violations on their health inspection reports and it's been a good number of years since my last reaction. Still carry epi-pens, of course.
Would love to know the actual trigger, but at least I figured out how to avoid it!

@futurebird (no other allergies, food or otherwise)

@aredridel @futurebird I thought the peanut allergy thing was largely caused by a misguided pediatrician who said let's keep infants away from peanuts so they don't develop allergies, and it became a recommendation but it turned out to be totally wrong and the opposite is true
@aburka @aredridel@kolektiva.social @futurebird that's how peanut allergies exploded after it was discovered that some people have a peanut allergy. it doesn't necessarily explain the allergy itself.
two things i see being major factors in developing various allergies: parents who smoked indoors, and outdoor air pollution from burnt fossil fuel exhaust. i know a few people who have either been allergic to everything as a child or are still that allergic now, and their parents were heavy chain smokers. this is not unknown to medical science.

That gluten/xanthan gum thing is a bit like how so many places, especially schools are very proud of how they replace peanut butter with "sun butter"
One day there was a dish of "peanut noodles" ... "oh no we'd never use peanuts! it's sunbutter... no one uses peanuts at a school. Allergies!"
It **said** peanuts, that's why I ate it.
I was just like "It was nice knowing everyone. Goodbye."
(Three epi pens and a trip to the ER. They now label better. )

@futurebird I know someone who's incredibly allergic to carrots. She can't eat out because no one believes it's a real allergy, and carrots are in so many foods.

I really want to know if I was born this way or if it is caused by what foods I ate when I was young?
My husband can't tolerate apple peels. Just the peels, the inside is fine. I wonder what the strangest food allergy must be?
@futurebird My oldest kid has the apple peal problem. They made her mouth itch.

My spouse is allergic to jalapenos. A LOT of vegan foods are spiced up with jalapenos! -

@futurebird @aredridel it's both. Immune development is a contingent process that involves genes you're born with, random modification of those genes to generate cells which produce a variety of immunoglobulins, and then selection of those cells based on a balance of self-reactivity and environmental reactivity to determine what exactly makes the adaptive immune system you face the world with. Lots of places it can go wrong, or at least inconvenient.

IDK I've had people try to bond with me on the evils of seed oils and I'm like "please stop. it is not that deep."
@futurebird @geonz Some people blame the fact that I have celiac disease on glyphosates and GMOs. Nope, my condition has existed since ancient times. Also, no eating gluten-free is not healthy or a miracle cure if you don't have a medical need to avoid gluten, and, no, it won't magically make you lose weight.
