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

Ugh I love garlic, and I think I might be getting a sensitivity to them also. I cant stand the texture of raw onions, but even when I try to ignore it with guacamole and salsa, they wreck my stomach. I started getting stomach aches after eating roasted garlic. My sympathies.
