We had shared snacks (*groan*), but the school was fully inclusive and all of the parents super nice about my child's food allergies. A huge % of kids at the school had dietary restrictions, most were plausible (many clearly IgE-mediated), but a few folks were going to a specific alternative practitioner who would prescribe unbelievably extensive elimination diets based on IgG testing and -- get this -- "didn't like patients asking questions"! She diagnosed one child as being allergic to ---- get this -- water! No, not chlorine or something in the water, the water itself! Why people didn't run for their lives from her office is beyond me.
