So would you oblige her requests?
I would oblige her request to let her know before taking out and consuming dairy or shellfish, but as I'm celiac I definitely wouldn't even be carrying wheat products. I would also regard her statements about being that allergic to "wheat" as somewhat suspect, because the chances of someone traveling with a form of wheat which could become airborne within the cabin, i.e. flour, are minuscule. There might be crumbs from someone else's sandwich on the tray table or floor, but why would she be touching those if she has that degree of sensitivity?
