Now I have 3 major things that are dangerous to me, Gluten, Corn, and Whey from dairy. I can deal with being around my other issues but these I can not.
Now keeping gluten out was pretty much eliminated awhile back after the burrito incident. IE I cater lunch every day and provide snacks to everyone.
BUT the sorry SOB keeps sneaking in corn syrup sodas or milk. I stopped going over there and helping my dad at his shop for fear of these. BUT I snapped yesterday and confronted him. I told him I would buy him cane sugar cokes and for him to stop risking my life bringing that s$#& in there and if he does it again I will have him sent home without pay. He flipped and started making excuses about drinking it for months and me not getting sick.....yeah I do not come over here. I told him the skin contact issue is just a rash, no big deal. BUT IF he opens one of those and it "sprits" and aerosols that corn syrup next to me and I inhale it then I get anaphylaxis. Then he starts up again, I shut him up by asking if he will pay the $1200-1500 for the ambulance ride when my throat swells up....then I go on to every detail of how you start getting the urge to swallow but can't then you have issues taking breath as it feels like your tongue is swelling up and going down your own throat. Your ability to take breath diminishes and gets harder. He then started offering to not drink anymore in the building and for me not to bother...I told him straight that was BS and he would give in and go drink them since he was addicted and he said yes.....so I bought him 2 cases for cane sugar soda and put in the fridge for him.....TIME will tell. 
Dear god between idiots like him and just finishing watching 12 seasons of SVU I am seriously losing hope in humanity. Don't even get me started on the inability to get people to donate to starting my food truck or helping when I was in need of medical services.

Can I assume that you keep an Epipen handy? Also, try to take it more easy on people who don't understand...especially if it's your dad. Acceptance of these issues is often a problem, even among close family members. This article we published in 2005 may be old, but still relevant:

Generic one I got for free, never had to use one.....all 4 reactions I have had before getting it I got through with liquid antihistamines and chewing pills. An odd method that requires a sound mind and control but doing so and letting it slowly work down my throat has opened it back up.  But I always keep shot bottles of liquid antihistamines and a pocket carrier with pills.  What really sucks is even after my throat feels weird, like hours of numb and pain and stays restricted.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      Thanks for your input.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
