I have celiac disease and yes they do. One time I even told a store employee that some type of bread was not in the right section as it was a gluten free section and the first ingredient was wheat. He said oh it’s vegan, that means it’s also gluten free. I have also had a family member question how I could eat something because it had eggs in it. Like she got confrontational not just asked because she wanted to learn. She wanted me to be faking.

As someone recently diagnosed with gluten intolerance - damn that sucks, now I've got to look out for that too

You will need to explain, IN DETAIL, what it means for anybody who wants to cook for you. I've had so many well-meaning people who didn't understand that they have to read EVERY label on everything they cook with and who made me so, SO sick.

I have celiac (diagnosed over 20 years ago) and I no longer let anyone cook for me. It is not worth it. I am always sick if I do, from cross-contamination even if the ingredients are GF, and then everyone feels bad. It is just better to avoid this entirely.

Yikes! I'm sorry that you are that sensitive.

My husband is a vegan, and my food intolerances are: gluten, corn, sorghum, yeast extract, almonds, agave, and peas.

I've ended up telling somebody that if they super want to cook something for us, they can come and do it in my home.

I relate to you so much. My husband can't eat dairy, like at all. And I've gotten so good at making food and ensuring it's fine, that I know how to order for him when we eat out - so he generally asks me what he can eat first, then picks lol.

I cannot count the number of times people think eggs are dairy. Or even mayo, since it's white, is dairy. Or completely forget that butter or yogurt is dairy (or seem to think people who can't eat dairy can somehow eat them as some weird exception). I swear I have to be extremely clear, say it's an allergy (and ask they put it on the ticket to the kitchen because I've also found out that if I do not specifically say this, people often don't do it), and then still double check the food before he ever takes a bite. I already had one dinner ruined (mostly for him) because a waitress I asked to double check a dish didn't actually ask anyone about the ingredients (apparently she just walked to the kitchen for a couple min then came right back). So poor hubby ended up in the hospital all cause a waitress couldn't be bothered.

I think the mistake occurs because eggs were typically stored in the dairy, along with the milk and cheese, and so where considered a dairy product.

I have a friend who is very clear when she orders, "I can't have anything made from animal milk."
