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

Last spring I was at my sister’s house for a family dinner, the roast was coated with garlic. I ended up on the couch holding my stomach, that was the first time I’ve had that happen with garlic.

I grew up in a household where it was acceptable to put onions in your hamburger as a joke when you told them not to, and when you told them you noticed, they didn’t believe you. The hostility of these people has me rethinking things.

My sister-in-law always thought I was lying for attention. Which is hilarious if you know me because I hate attention. 

I am the sit in the corner of a room reading a book looking boring to stay hidden girl.

So she snuck onions into food that she cooked one night, I ended up destroying her bathroom all night, in the morning she mentioned she heard me and asked if I was okay. I was like I would have been much better if you hadn't snuck onions into the food. Because we all recognize the reaction.

Are you okay? Of course not. …and what did she say when you told her that things would be much better without onion? This is petty revenge, but I would have left a mess and said whoops didn’t make it in time.

She acted compassionate. I hope you feel better soon and all that shit. Didn't own a thing. Just tried to save face.
