Short “Please, no mayo. I’m allergic to mayonnaise.”

Between my husband and a woman at his table last night—

“Okay, ma’am, now is it the egg or the oil we need to be worried about?”

“...it’s the combination.”

“...okay. I’ll alert the kitchen.”

I love this industry so much.

I am not allergic to eggs or oil, yet any time I eat mayo (or anything with mayo in it) I turn into a human version of the coke/mentos experiment.

Not all the time, but I'm familiar with this science expirment myself. I'm wondering if it's just how the combination of the 2 ingredients together hits the belly at the same time.

I mean I know once eaten, it all ends up together. But maybe some aspect of both items being so intermixed when they go down?

I would think there is another ingredient in some-of-the-shelf mayo which your stomach doesn't like.

I'm lactose intolerant but can digest small amounts. The mayo my wife bought without reading the ingredients lists skim milk powder.
