(And boy howdy do I know about misguided pseudoscientific diets. I used to babysit for a woman who presented me with a mile-long list of things her daughter was "allergic" to, but every single symptom was along the lines of "Jane will be hyperactive tonight because last week I let her try some yogurt and she's allergic to dairy." No lady, Jane will be hyperactive tonight because she has ADHD and instead of taking her to a doctor you've put her on this crazy restricted diet PULLED OUT OF YOUR ASS.)
Jessica, this is my MiL with my SiL. Seriously--a whole list of "allergies" and the kid NEVER went to an allergist.

The Actual Cookies that I am eating right now are vegan but not gluten-free.
In good news, Lee just texted that everything went well and she's on her way home. She does not, however, glow in the dark. Sad.
Thanks for passing on the news, Amy!
Yay! Maybe the superpowers will show up tomorrow.
She does not, however, glow in the dark.
Damn. I bet she doesn't have webshooters in her wrists either.
(JUST KIDDING LEE VERY GLAD YOU OKAY)
(SORTA KIDDING)
(BUT THE WEBSHOOTERS WLD BE COOL ANYWAY)
Thanks for letting us know, Amy!
Glowing in the dark wouldn't be such a great superpower, so I'm glad that's not it.
You should just be able to say "no, thanks" when you don't want to or can't eat something for whatever reason and not get hassled about it.
Yeah, this one!!! "No thanks!" "OK!" I mean, seriously, Effing people.
Yay Lee! Boo lack of superpowers...though don't they usually take a few days to kick in/be discovered? I mean, I'll bet she hasn't TRIED to fly yet. IJS.
I had an ER doctor carefully explain to me that the aspirin allergy I had listed on my intake form was not actually an allergy, it was a sensitivity (based on my described symptoms)
Yeah, I mean...I'm sensitive to percoset. I'm not allergic. If you give it to me, I will go full exorcist, and puke in your face. But you will not need to go get an epi-pen and keep me on life support. It'll just be mad unpleasant. For both of us.
