I am also horribly allergic to garlic, my primary complaints include headaches with terrible dehydration (even if I didn't taste it in the food, or it was in a very small amount) but I always know I have consumed garlic by the thirst that it induces! I also have intestinal issues, which appear to be related to anything in the onion/garlic family. My mother is also allergic, with her symptoms increasing with age. I was told a garlic allergy has to do with low oestrogen, and garlic indeed has properties that make this likely... probably why vampires and evil witches were warded off by garlic, since we all know older women are witches :) I am really disappointed to have such a strong allergy to something that is supposedly so healthy (my diet is otherwise very health conscious and I am in general a very healthy person, even now in my 60s)
