Friend of friend suddenly announces awkward dietary requirements (help??)

[ComingUpTrumps]

Argh.

I'm organising a meal at the moment for a special event (I don't really know these people). I sent out a restaurant menu a couple of weeks ago to everyone so they could see the different options available. Yesterday, I asked everyone to pre-order from the menu and to pass on their choices to me next week to me. I also asked everyone (a couple of months ago) to pass on their dietary requirements to me.

Most people have now got back to me with their choices. One person (who I'm getting a bit annoyed with for other reasons) just messaged me tonight to say that they are gluten-free and dairy-free. I saw her a couple of months ago, and she had macaroni cheese and a burger with a bun.

How do I reply to this?

I've said to her: 'hi X thanks for letting me know. There's X, X and X in the starters, and X and X in the mains which are gluten-free and dairy-free.'

She then said 'yes, there are a few options on the menu, but do they have a separate menu?'

Help! Before I lose the will to live.

Thisisouting so true

Thisis she's specifically said to me that she cannot eat dairy but can have butter. I don't think she's making it up. I don't know her well enough to know. Please don't accuse me of 'policing' her food choices

I have no idea of the reasoning, but I cannot tolerate most dairy products (milk, yogurt, cream etc) but I can tolerate butter.

I haven't read all the thread so apologies if I'm not up to date but I think she should contact the restaurant herself directly and let you know her decision. I'm gf and actually prefer to do this anyhow to ensure they're 'up on gf'.
If she has intolerances/allergies etc then it's clearly not her fault but she can't expect others to chase it up for her.
