Fun fact! You can be allergic to a raw ingredient, but not a processed ingredient! Or you can be allergic to both.
The process of cooking or drying out an ingredient can change the chemical composition of the food item. If you are allergic to the chemical that was changed, you can safely eat the food item post processing.
Someone can eat ketchup while being allergic to tomatoes. They are not lying to you!
Someone can have an intolerance to garlic, while eating garlic powder. They aren’t lying, either.
Someone may have a delayed allergic/intolerant reaction. Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean they’re fine.
Please spread awareness of this.
PS: If your gut is mean to you when you try to eat alliums or peppers, carefully try powdered forms. Definitely start with small amounts. You may be able to get the spice in your life back!
