Obviously I don't disagree with you, but trust me, this mountain is far steeper than anyone tends to think. Medical science has absolutely zero clue why my body decided to become allergic to roughly 30 different foods at age 30 after a lifetime of eating whatever I wanted.

The reality is that we are decades away from solving this, if ever. Not to mention the vast majority of science is funneled towards child food allergies, which ironically are the only kind to go away. If the mechanisms involved were similar, I wouldn't have a problem, but it's very possible that child and adult food allergies have completely different causes. People such as myself who develop food allergies as an adult are very simply fucked.

Beyond that, just look at the sickening replies in this very thread. On the whole people view people like me as a nuisance and would rather us die than deal with whatever comparatively minuscule alterations to their lives required to accommodate us. You wouldn't believe the things people have done and said to me to my face. It's one of the more invisible disabilities for sure.
