Whew, that's a relief. Gluten intolerance is hard, but at least it
won't kill you. You're the first one I've heard of who is allergic to
oats. I have a friend who can't eat onions or else she needs an epi
pen. That one is pretty rare too.

My granddaughter is so sensitive to garbanzo beans that she gets a
contact rash if someone has been eating falafel or hummus and touches
her without washing their hands first. Fortunately, a good wipe down
with soap rectifies it - but we take no chances with her eating them.
Before we knew, my DD gave her a tiny taste of hummus and GD spent the
night throwing up. DD refers to it as "the night I almost killed my
daughter". It's a complete overstatement, and a family joke.
