Does anyone know has SS ever talked about Food allergies etc.?

I will explain why this isn't a dumb question. I have Celiac what means I can not eat wheat because of a Protein in it called glutton. Glutton is only in wheat, barely and maybe oats they don't know for sure yet. What it does is attacks your small intestine, and you don't absorb food right. So you slowly die of malnutrition. As of right now this is the most common genetic disease in the world. New studies are showing one in 99 have it, all colors all over. Now most in the US don't know of it. In Italy they test at age 6 for it now. It was only found at the end of WW2. But over here most just get told they have IBS when they go in for the pain, and it won't kill till around 60 mostly.

Anyway that explains what it is, being I know most don't know what it is. Now my little girl will have this as well, or a very high chance. She already has pushed bread away from her. Now when she gets older to understand SS well seems all their diet or talking of food almost always has some kind of bread or flour based food. Same with the Milk for those that is Lactose intolerant, they do mention drinking milk a lot, what is good and the bead. Just didn't know if they ever discussed those that can't eat that stuff. Being kids seem to attack differences so much, imagine if you were in school and said sorry I can't have that cake or that cookie. Trust me it is tuff even for me just going out to eat.

I don't think that Sesame Street has ever talked about food allergies, but I drew a cartoon based on when I was in kindergarten in which the Alligator King's seven son has a nut allergy and his kindergarten teacher is a ladybug from the Ladybug's Picnic. Then in the middle of the year, the Martian Beauty joins Seventh son's kindergarten class when she moves in from Mars and she and Seventh son have close allergens(the Martian Beauty has a peanut allergy). They are always separated from the class when the rest of the class does projects using their allergens. When the rest of the class does activities using the allergens of Seventh son and the Martian Beauty, Seventh son and the Martian Beauty are placed at their own separate table and do an alternate activity instead.
