    No allergies to food or anything. (But I don't like rhubarb pie for some reason)

    Drinking milk gives me stomach cramps and makes me nauseous (quite possibly all in my head though cos other dairy products like chocolate and cheese just make me happy :) ) My little sister gets hives if she eats cheese, that would just break my heart

    People who say they are 'allergic' to something just because they don't like it. Grr..

    You're allergic to something if it causes you serious symptoms and you've been diagnosed with an allergy to it. Not if you've decided that when in a certain form it makes you feel a bit funny.

    Most bread and some cakes give me stomach upsets and other rather nasty problems, presume I'm not allergic to it, just that my body hates it with a passion :)

    I assume if I ever ate cat I'd have an allergy attack :D

    No alergies, but have wheat intolerance. I have to eat as if I'ma coeliac, but its not serious, I still manage the odd slice of bread. Have IBS so there's alot I can't eat, but nothing I've an allergy to. Have a caffeine intolerance too.

    No, assume it's some sort ofcommercial additive or maybe yeast? Pain in the ass though, literally :o

    Yeast in bread/cakes etc is killed off while it's baking as there's only a very small amount used, so it doesn't cause a problem for people with a yeast intolerance.

    You maybe should get checked for coeliac disease, "pain in the ass, literally" being one of the main outward symptoms of it... My fiance is coeliac, keeps nibbling on my bread and other gluten-y tasty foods and then he bloats out like a pregnant woman. I'm lactose-intolerant, course, I love ice cream so it's torture in summertime :( Yes, dinner parties are fun around our way...no wheat, no cream, no fun!
