49. My sister has the gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance, which wouldn't be a problem ...

except she has NO self control. Her symptom is an instant runny rose, so then you have to hear sniffing for the next several hours after she can't resist taking a bite of your pizza. And the food she's intolerant of makes her lose her appetite, she gets really skinny. Food I'm intolerant of makes me bloat. If I've been bad about my diet and see someone I haven't seen for awhile, they tell me I've gained weight. If I've been good, they tell me I've lost weight. I'm a shape shifter! Even my face looks different. It's interesting how each human body reacts differently.
