    Sorry to hear that man. I really hope that sometime in the near future a good treatment for those cases is found. Aren't you also allergic to tomatoes?. I guess you don't eat out very often sorry :cry: .

    My comment wasn't intended to deny those allergies exist, is just that some people vilify some foods without correct diagnosis.

    Intolerant to tomatoes, allergic to crustaceans and celiac (which is an autoimmune disease). Eating out is definitely a challenge, although some countries are much better than others (Ireland, UK, New Zealand, Australia and the Cook Islands have all been very easy for me; France is a nightmare.)

    Regarding gluten, and very specifically noting that I do not mean people with celiac disease, I think there's a lot more going on than just the presence of gluten itself. What we call mass produced, spoilage-resistant "bread" today is wildly different than the wild-yeast, long fermentation product we evolved to consume.

    This makes sense. I've spent so much time in the much more pastoral US that it's easy to forget how the rest of the world operates.

    I would hate not being able to eat whatever, whenever. Food has always been something to enjoy for me (even if it's a snack in my car between here and there), to the degree that I can sometimes be hungry and won't eat until there's something available that I want.

    I did consider putting that in the War on [Holidays] thread. I figured it was technically food, though I would probably not try it to find out.

    My fig tree is doing great - got lots.
    Got 3 Meyer lemons.
    Had 5 or 6 oranges, but a windstorm blew them all off the tree just as they were turning orange. Grapefruit tree was killed when the city repaired our sewer line (WORTH IT! :cool:).
    Got one persimmon from the tree I planted in the park.
