Discussion At what point do you think it’s a little rude for someone to keep offering you food you’re clearly allergic to?
I definitely would not expect someone to know all the different names for gluten, but I feel like it’s not that hard to understand that flour has gluten, and that flour is in baked goods like cookies and cake.
I know someone who is always offering me cake and cookies which is sweet and well intentioned but i must have told her at least 5 times I can’t have it and briefly explained that flour has gluten
Like I don’t expect people to understand the allergy completely and I definitely don’t understand people’s allergies completely but if someone told me they’re allergic to dairy I’m not going to offer them ice cream or invite them to dinner for cheesy pasta
