I’m a relatively recent vegan, but a lifelong vegetarian. If you share dairy or chicken utensils, I’ll be fine. If my food gets contaminated by pork or lamb (possibly others, I don’t intentionally try them), I will shit my pants. I’m sure there is a tolerable limit, but it’s lower than sharing utensils. It’s also less than sharing a pan, but I’m not sure about a grill, because you can clean a grill relatively easily by just letting the heat flare up.
Yeah, although vegetarian / vegan is a choice, it can definitely become a food allergy because we stop making the enzymes to digest certain proteins if we don't eat them.
I still eat food from conventional restaurants, like veggie burgers and stuff, so maybe I get enough exposure that it's not an issue for me (yet)
Is that actually true? I don't think that's even the case with lactose. You're either born with the gene or not.
Most people eventually lose some degree of their ability to digest milk, because adults don’t rely on it as much. If you’re worried, a full serving of dairy a couple of times a month is more than enough for most people to keep up their digestive ability.
I’m not sure if I lost the ability to digest fatty meats or never had it, because I’ve never intentionally eaten pork, and was 26 the first time I ate lamb. My doctors have advised me not to try eating red meat, as it would be too hard for my body to digest it now. That could be an old wives tale, but it’s good enough for me
