Food Allergies

[Carnation]

If someone is to stay away from foods "for a time" I would expect it is to see if it makes a difference.
When my doctor recommended I stay away from ALL sugar (Keto type diet), it was to see if it made a difference with autoimmune pain.
Sure enough, I was able to get off of all prescription pain meds and anti-inflammatories within 6 weeks of starting the diet.

Often people label things as allergies because that is easier than explaining why you avoid certain foods.
My son doesn't have anaphylactic response to eggs, but he sure will violently vomit it up!
Saying he is allergic to eggs is simply easier than to give the explanation.

My 2 cents...
