HOUSTON — A Houston man is suing Whataburger for nearly $1 million after he says his burger had onions on it.

Turns out he had asked for a no-onions order.

On July 24, 2024, Demery Ardell Wilson had an allergic reaction after eating a burger that had onions on it at Whataburger, court documents say. He alleges that he requested the fast-food chain to take them off before serving him the burger.

Yeah I unfortunately have celiac along with many people in my family and have never heard of it causing an immediately life threatening reaction. Pain, embarrassment, mental issues, long term mortality, a whole slew of problems but not "I'm going to immediately die".

    I have it as well, thus mentioning my skepticism.

    The worst glutening I experienced had some minor hypothermia, but it wasn't enough for a hospitalization, much less lethal.

    I tend to get really bad headaches, body aches, and obviously major stomach issues, it feels like the flu if it’s bad enough and I can potentially feel some lingering effects for a couple weeks. Strangely enough I’ve never had any sort of issue with any kind of wheat or rye based alcohol, even though I know it’s not considered Celiac safe, obviously. I feel almost guilty that I indulge in that stuff once in a while because I know it’s probably not good even if I don’t feel anything, but it’s just never been a problem for whatever reason

    I just have a 4-6 hr "evacuation session" and once I've recovered from that I'm fine. It leaves me weak and sore af tho.

    As far as I know, liquor is safe but beer isn't. I don't drink much, but I've never had any issues with it either.
