Welcome to Gaia! ::


So my husband and I, we threw a tea party, and we had pastries on the side.
Anyway, one of my friends was bitching at me because I didn't have any gluten-free options like I am some sort of menace.
I can't eat gluten-free foods. I am allergic to coconut, almonds, and cassava/tapioca, which are the 3 main gluten substitutes and at least one of those is in most gluten-free food, so obviously I'm not going to serve it.

Also, she's not even celiac. Just has "gluten-intolerance" which has been proven to not exist, and that the people are intolerant to fructans, which means they can't eat whole wheat, onions, garlic, and inulin, but they can still eat it in small amounts or just take a Dex-4 to help absorb it better.
If she would have asked you if you could arrange some food like that it's one thing, but she can't expect it otherwise.

Your friend was way out of line. I suggest you forget to invite her to any more parties.
