What Do You Eat/Drink When You're Not Feeling Well?

You would be very surprised to know how much ignorance is out there. Lots and lots and lots of people have no idea whatsoever about gluten free, lactose intolerant and veganism.
It never fails to amaze me.

I am often told "no we don't have dairy free, but we do have gluten free". My response is usually scathing. "So if i was allergic to peanuts, would it be OK to say, no we don't have peanut or nut free, but we do have gluten free?". I usually get that blank look. "Anaphylactic shock from dairy still kills in the same time frame that anaphylactic shock from peanuts or nuts kills in, 3 minutes of not breathing".

My other comment usually includes that "dairy comes from cows, sheep or goats, gluten from wheat. I don't understand why you think they are related. "

I have also been known to comment that I didn't know dairy milk came from wheat!
