Teenager discovers parents have been lying to him about deadly food allergies

Some parents tell their children white lies while they’re growing up, but the parents of this Reddit user went too far.A 19-year-old posted on Reddit’s popular AITA (Am I the A**hole) forum to ask whether him cutting off communication with his parents...was too much of an overreaction to learning they had been lying to him for years.“For as long as I can remember, I have been allergic to several things: dairy, wheat/flour/gluten and legumes,” he wrote.“I was at my aunt’s house for my birthday party, and she made brownies for everyone,” he said.It turns out, the teen had eaten off of the plate with regular brownies, made with flour, instead of the gluten-free ones.His mom told his aunt to calm down because she had switched the plates when no one was looking.The teen dwelled on the incident before going to take a proper allergy test, where he discovered he wasn't allergic to anything.“I ... called my mother. She eventually admitted that she lied to me because she wanted me to be on a Paleolithic diet,” he said
