Early Europeans ate seaweed for thousands of years
Lots of people eat seaweed without even knowing it; carrageenan, an ingredient derived from seaweed, is used as a filler in many food products.

carrageenan causes me some digestive distress; its amazing how many things its in. There's a couple ice cream brands without it, for example, but you'd better check ingredients anyway.

Causes one person I know anaphylaxis. It appears to be a pseudo latex allergy:

Carageenan gives me inflammation. There's now plenty of research out there about all sorts of issues it causes in the body.

You're right, every person has exactly the same reaction to all foods. Minor digestive allergies are all made up nonsense!
