Why am I the expert all of a sudden

Its weird. Your cruising along for a couple of years doing your allergy free safe thing, and it just seems all of sudden people start noticing that it is not a fad for your family, or some crazy weight loss diet, and your very serious about keeping your kid safe. Then the phone calls and the conversations start. People fall into 2 groups. The largest group are the ones who recognize that food allergies or intolerances could very well be causing or contributing to what ever is bothering them but they are to overwhelmed with the prospect of cooking differently or trying to get the family on board with the idea. Yet they will continue to go to Drs to get a diagnosis or meds. Then there is the small minority who will make changes but often don't realize to what degree it will require and are calling to 'pick your brain' so to speak. These are the people I enjoy sitting down with and walking them through some of the steps, pitfalls, and alternative ideas to their current diet, and their expectations of change.
