When I was a baby, I not only was afflicted with severe allergies (asthmatic allergy), but celiac disease as well. (And, both my parents died of autoimmune diseases.) Which became a family joke (no one ever said I had a normal family) when it was clear that I loved cottage cheese, even though I was forced to eat it almost every morning, noon, and night. (My kids still swear I make cottage cheese with noodles, not noodles and cheese.)
