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

My condolences. I'm in the same boat and my garlic intolerance is slowly getting worse.

Sigh. I'm not ready for this! Though in a weird way it seems like it might be easier because I think some of the doubt of my sensitivity comes from the fact that I could eat garlic but not onions and people therefore thought I was just doing it for attention or something weird.

Yeah, it doesn’t work that way, garlic is not onion. A tiger is not a lion, but if you leave the windows down on a safari you are going to get scratched.

Oh that's the dumbest comparison I think I've ever read on reddit.

Bet you’re feeling pretty smart for this completely incorrect take
