I just realized that I've almost never seen anyone deal with food allergies or particular diets in SF/F literature... One wonders how people would get by...
I have, but not often. However, main characters in two of my SF TV shows (well, both of them are Stargate shows) have allergies. Of course, they're set in present day. But one of the characters has a fairly serious citrus allergy, and he's almost always asking before he eats unknown stuff whether it has citrus or not. So there's a good chunk of fanfiction for that one that involves allergies and how to deal with them.
I've definitely seen stuff in both genres that deals with the issue, but I couldn't for the life of me say what. Plus, one figures that in most SF worlds, they've advanced in the future far enough to deal with food allergies and the like to the point that nobody makes a note of it.
