It would be helpful if most of these were called a food "intolerance". I say this because I have food allergies that are deadly, and people tend to think "oh, you're allergic to nuts? So you can still have a couple because it'll just make your stomach hurt, right?" when really, it will make my face puff up and turn red, my eyes swell shut and my throat close as my body is desperately trying and failing to vomit it out, thus suffocating me in my own filth.
