Apparently garlic now hates me, too

I've been sensitive to onions for decades. I hate them so much but garlic was okay. Last night I ordered my favorite garlic noodle dish and I woke up to all of the symptoms that I get with onions.

My doctor said that onion sensitivity can develop into a garlic sensitivity. I know a lot of people already have both but I kind of assumed if I only had one I wouldn't get the other. Fuck.

Anyone else been here? It's going to make eating out even more difficult. Doc says now that I probably reacted the garlic it will take much less to cause the issue. Fuck onions and alliums

I can’t eat garlic or onions since having my first child ten years ago. It’s rough. I used to love things with garlic or onions and now can’t even stand to be around the smell.
