Not even just celiac disease! Her daughter has a severe tree nut allergy yet seems to be completely uneducated about how dangerous ALL food allergies are. But a lot of people seem to only think that nut allergies can kill.
I am allergic to wheat. Severely allergic. I haven't gone into anaphylactic shock from it (like I have with peanuts, tree nuts, eggs and shellfish) but I have had a severe reaction with full body hives and wheezing (luckily Benadryl and prednisone helped it). So yes....gluten can kill.
I am allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, shellfish, wheat, soy, dairy, oats, coconut, sesame, sunflower seeds, broccoli, ginger, and honey. While we know that peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, and shellfish all send me into anaphylactic shock every single other allergy has the same potential to cause anaphylaxis with any trace of the food.
So PP, if you want people to be considerate to you and your daughter about food allergies and other dietary conditions, you might want to learn to be considerate to others as well.
