An allergy is a hypersensitive reaction to a normally harmless substance. 
Food allergies: symptoms respiratory congestion, eye inflammation, swelling, itching, hives, and stomachache and vomiting. "Common cause" wheat, milk, eggs, seafood, chocolate, citrus fruits, soy products, corn, nuts, and berries. 

A food allergy involves an immune system reaction that is triggered when a specific food or food additive is eaten. The reaction may be started by eating only a small amount of food. It may also occur very suddenly after eating the food and can be very serious, even life-threatening. This severe reaction is called anaphylactic shock or anaphylaxis.
