Being allergic to your favorite foods is a major bummer.
Watching others chow down on sweets, pizza, or whatever your poison is, can feel unbearable. And some people with allergies or intolerances, "power through" the physical effects because that brief moment of flavorful goodness seems worth it.
As a bystander, it can feel unnerving to watch someone create their own suffering by eating something easily avoidable. Even more so if you're a parent.
For one mom, her daughter's insistence on eating trigger foods this Christmas caused her to throw up her arms and shrug.
She wrote:
AITA for not spending this Christmas in the hospital with my daughter?
My (39F) daughter (16F) has had a sensitive stomach ever since she was a kid. There are certain foods that will upset her stomach to the point where she's unable to stop throwing up.
