I have a house guest coming this week who says she is allergic to celery. Last time I expected her, I cooked everything from scratch for a five day visit, no celery and they cancelled at the last moment. By late February, we had eaten all the stuff I made for them in November.

I just realized that I've used an andouille that has celery powder as a very minor (next to last) ingredient. How sensitive are these allergies? Any experiences?

How much do you like this person? Why would you give them something they have told you they can't eat?

From google

Allergic reactions to many different vegetables have been reported, but celery, specifically celeriac (celery root) is a particularly problematic food. Symptoms of vegetable allergy are often mild and observed in the oral cavity with itching of the oral mucosa, swelling of lips, tongue and throat.

Sounds like the amount of food you cooked was too much.

Let her know and let her decide. Was tempted with a two-bit comment but above sufficed.

I think it's probably bs, but at the time I can think of a shite ton of things to cook without celery.

You saying two people took 3 months to eat food that was cooked for just two additional people? Odd. And why was it all cooked beforehand? Just seems odd to go visit friends and us eating leftovers from Tupperware for 5 days..

Anyway, you should tell her. Allergies aren’t worth fricking with. As mentioned, there are plenty of celery free dishes out there.

I have left out celery of many gumbos, etouffees, etc. It isn't that big a deal. And I am with LL, were these ingredients you bought or did you pre-cook everything?

When i was a kid I was very allergic to celery. Thankfully I grew out of it, but it is a real thing.

My symptoms were near-instant projectile vomiting followed by several hours of migraine.

I didn't get the mouth swelling stuff mentioned in previous link.
