Not ALL!. My experience is my sensitivities sort of rotate depending on general

health etc.

Example I tolerate dairy for periods of time and then may react on occasion but

began to tolerate foods that used to bother me like eggs, nuts andpeanuts.

BTW: It was just discovered that a deficient enzyme may be at the bottom of

peanut

allergy.
