[QUOTE="n8thegr8, post: 2376826, member: 6349"] Welcome to the club, brother. My son is allergic to dairy, eggs, and peanuts. When I say dairy, I don't mean lactose intolerant, I mistakenly poured the wrong milk for him one day and had to use the epipen and spent the evening in the ER. I've never felt so worthless in my life. Needless to say, we are an almond milk family now, lol. Red lobster is a no-go for us, because literally everything contains dairy. Pretty much the only place we can eat out is Chili's, and they do a good job, just stress the severity of the situation (i.e. "Don't put butter on his chicken or he will die"). Most major restaurants are a lot more allergy-aware now, and willing to make accommodations to people with special dietary needs (they also have allergy menus available online, that's how I found out about Red Lobster). If we're going some place we don't trust, we just pack him a special lunch and snacks to keep him happy. No, you're not being a crazy person. I still wash my hands with soap everytime I touch something with peanuts in it. It sucks, but you get used to it. Thankfully, companies are making our lives a lot easier with allergen warnings on product labels and stuff. [/QUOTE]
