Parents of children with anaphylaxis or coeliac disease are not virtue signalling and assuming they are and preparing food accordingly could lead a person to be on a manslaughter charge so, you know, maybe don’t
@francesweetman People who ask for gf and vegan food in restaurants only to have a tiramisu w/ice cream for dessert because they’re now drunk are the problem. It makes life hard for those with genuine allergies. Coeliac is actually an auto immune condition and a strict gf diet is crucial.
@thefempire50 @francesweetman So here is the thing about what you just described. Someone with IBS can have small amounts of gluten. So they may choose a gluten free pasta and then have a dessert with some gluten in because they ca handle that small amount.
@stellajanebowen @francesweetman This is very true and actually this is me. However, my son has Coeliac and regularly gets asked ‘how coeliac are you’. So in all honesty I put the onus on the restaurants to be better trained.
@stellajanebowen @thefempire50 @francesweetman My sister suffers from terrible wind, so she mostly eats a GF diet. If here is nothing she fancies she will have something else and then put up with the consequences later. She does explain to restaurants that she isn't allergic.
