1. I know how you feel. I usually just say something like "Yes, it is unfortunate", because they are just trying to be nice and I am awkward about similar things in conversations with others.
2. Do you or your husband have food allergies?In regards to this, my parents didn't. If it is someone who is actually interested, I might mention that both of my parents have allergic disease (seasonal allergies, eczema) and that is thought to be related.
3. But he looks so normal! Generally just that 'example' disease doesn't make people look different. If someone was being a super jerk, they would get my general response for "You don't look disabled", which is "Funny, you didn't look like an a**hole until you opened your mouth."
4. What in the world do you feed that poor kid? Mostly styrofoam, sometimes cardboard. If someone was actually interested though, I'd be helpful.
5. I made this for you. It doesn’t have peanuts (or milk, egg, gluten, etc.) I'd probably just take it home and send it to work with my husband.
6. He’ll outgrow it, right?At this point, I seem to be growing into it...
7. They can cure that allergy now. Or: Did you ever try . . . ? I've asked my doctor about it, he actually has a research facility in his office, and he doesn't recommend it for me.
8. He’s going to have to get used to it. Doing pretty good at that, thanks.
9. I feel so bad for him. I have to make most foods from scratch and most of them are better than store bought at this point. You don't have to feel bad.
10. God never gives you more than you can handle. Smile and nod. There isn't anything that I would say that would probably go over well.
