When I was growing up in the UK in the 70s and 80s food allergies and intolerances were pretty much unknown.

Today the situation has very much changed with far greater awareness of food  allergies and intolerances.  Indeed both my children’s schools will not allow cakes which could be contaminated with nuts for birthdays.

As well knowledge of conditions like celiac disease has become commonplace.

So I was wondering what percentage of our readers suffer from a food allergy.  It would be great if you could take our poll to share with our other readers.

Please feel free to share your story in the comments box and poll below.

Thanks very much in advance!
