Having food allergies sure means you go through some really good days and some really bad days. A couple of weeks ago I went through a couple of those really bad days. I know that I have to live with my allergy but having someone tell me to just get over my fear and forget it really upset me.
Eating out is a challenge for anyone with a food allergy but normally when you get to know a server/manager or kitchen staff in a restaurant it really does help. I have to say normally it does but sometimes when a server is having a bad time you can end up as the victim. I was in just that situation with someone that I thought I could trust. I was concerned with my dinner order and questions it only to be told to get over my fear and deal with it as there wasn't a problem with my food. How do I know this when it didn't come out the way I ordered it and that was what I was trying to inform the server.
The result of this situation meant that I really didn't want to eat any food for a couple of days as I was afraid of everything. I didn't even want to get food at home that I knew was safe. The end result of this was after talking to another restaurant manager and server I was able to deal with my fear correctly as I found out that what the problem server said to me was incorrect. I do owe a big thanks for the two of them for helping me deal with my fear and get back to living life like I should. Yes warning people of my allergies and knowing that I can trust most of them.
Now to sit and enjoy a glass of wine tonight while I work on some documentation that I want to do on dealing with allergies and restaurants.
