It's so fun being a person who has dietary restrictions because of both my own allergies and supporting my partners allergies and then seeing "baking hacks" be spread around the Internet saying that you should substitute ingredients I can have with things I cannot without actually telling the person you're feeding it to because "it's a secret ingredient for a reason, you want them to always wonder what made it taste so good". No white Instagram woman, I'll always wonder why your food with "hidden" onions gave me food poisoning, and why your baked good that you substituted almond extract instead of vanilla sent my partner into anaphylaxis.

I feel like people don't talk about how isolating and exhausting having food intolerances/allergies/dietary restrictions. Having to prepare food to go to events with offered food. Having to miss social events because you can't eat ANYTHING where they want to go. Not even bothering to try going to many events. Not being able to try authentic foods from other cultures often. Having a small handful, if that, of restaurants you can actually eat "normal", "proper" food at (still having few options and not being able to order what's directly on the menu). Not relating to people's favourite foods or even knowing what they taste like. Feeling like a burden for needing changes made to everything. Having to SEARCH HARD for recipes you can exactly FOLLOW. Knowing that if you travel it will be very hard to find food in many places. Not even mentioning the extra cost added to everything.

Food is one of the biggest social and cultural connections, as beings who can't eat the same as most people we are left out of so much connection.

-we are vegan (partially intolerance partially morals), gluten intolerant, have other assorted intolerances and ARFID symptoms (not meeting diagnostic criteria). We can't even imagine how much worse it is for beings with full allergies, very few safe foods or who can't eat anything at all.

I COME TO THE HOSPITAL BEARING SNACKS FOR GIFTS!!! (Are there any allergies I need to know about :3)

Ooo good question!!! Hm…I’m only deciding this rn but you know what Jax is allergic to peanuts, a couple different medicines, and bee stings (I know that’s not food but I got distracted lol) because I like making him suffer and yes he needs an additional thing. He’s also not allowed to have food with any type of unnatural red dye in it because that feels like something Abel would say ❤️ specifically about Jax tho he doesn’t care if the girls have it 💔

And I think Gangle is allergic to shellfish..

(TW: Severe allergic reaction mentioned)

Kristy here. Be. So. Fucking careful if you have any kind of reactions to anything you eat. Even if it’s just like a little tingle in your mouth or a sniffle. We used to have the tiniest reaction of our tongue swelling just a bit from pineapple. The other night, we had some in a can for our work lunch. What followed was our allergy rocketing out of control.

Our legs swelled. We were sniffling and coughing just a bit more. Next morning, we felt like we had Covid. We figured that was it, as we’d recently had Covid exposure. Poor Lestat who is the most connected to the body even if he isn’t fronting was wheezing and coughing in-sys. With him in the fronting alcove so I could rub his back and keep an eye on him, I got us to the urgent care.

Everything came back negative. We were having a pretty severe allergic reaction. We got a shot, got prescribed allergy meds, and were told to get to a GP and an allergy specialist as soon as possible- Something we are extremely fortunate to be able to do since we have health insurance through our job.

Pineapple is in fucking everything. We still feel fairly miserable, but have an upcoming appointment underway. My poor love has been coughing so much his voice has gone hoarse in-sys. He’s still gasping and wheezing from time to time.

We’ve taken literally everything we can safely take.

If you have any kind of allergies, watch yourself. Please. Double check all of your food labels. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

Happy announcement: I drank apple juice and did not have an allergic reaction to it!

Normally when I drink apple juice it makes my throat itch very badly and it tastes gross. Apple cider has never done the same thing which means the allergy has never been towards apples specifically.

I think the reason I didn't react badly this time is likely because the apple juice I drank didn't have much in it other than the juice and water, meaning whatever weird thing I'm allergic to wasn't in it enough for me to react badly.

But either way, I'm so glad I got to drink apple juice! Apple cider is so hard to find when it's out of season plus it's more pricy than apple juice, so like, this is very awesomesauce.

I feel kinda bad for not having that much headcanons regarding Dogman, so I will think some and here's a silly one in the mean time.

I do think Dogman's new human stomach let him eat whatever he wants, he doesn't have the dog limitations anymore. He still likes dog food tho, but since he started to try new stuff it isn't his favorite food anymore.

I have seen people making him eat steak and I agree, I do think steak is his new favorite food. And I also headcanon he doesn't like veggies that much, Li'l Petey and him have that in common. (But Li'l Petey will grow out of it)

However, once Dogman tried a chocolate donut for the first time and spent the night miserably in the bathroom. Yeah, he doesn't have the dog's stomach limitation anymore. But it turns up, he is allergic to chocolate anyway lol
