Hi. I decided to share this. Maybe someone understands. Years ago I found out I have a latex allergy. I was told to avoid certain things...fine. It has become the center focus of my life. The list of things to avoid is as long as I am tall. I have to write/create my own recipes because I cannot have anything from a cookbook or any online recipes. I have to share about it with anyone I have contact with because I have so many things that I cannot do, have, be in contact with or consume. It has become almost like a personal disclaimer. It has become the main topic of conversation no matter who I am conversing with. Ive met other people with latex allergies, but theirs is different in how it presents or they just have more freedom. Does anyone else here have a severe food/contact allergy?

I am looking for similarities. I have learned to accept this about myself. It would be interesting to talk to someone else in a similar situation.
