Do You Have Any Food Sensitivities or Intolerances?

Where did all of these food intolerances come from all of a sudden? It seems like everybody has them.
I've heard mixed reviews/thoughts about the IGC Food Sensitivity Test and I don't think insurance pays for it and doctors don't do it, you have to go to one of those Any Test Labs.
I am intolerant now to both milk and eggs. I never was before. They both came out of the blue. I understand the milk = lactose and older people often become lactose intolerant, but the eggs really surprised me. I've never heard of anyone being sensitive to eggs. I wasn't - I ate eggs all the time on this protein diet, but then suddenly I was and now I can't eat them at all anymore.
Now I did find out that I'm ALLERGIC to all tree nuts. Which is different from just being "sensitive" or "intolerant" to a food.
What food issues do you have, if any?

LOTS. I have allergies to pork, seafood, peas (I can vouch for all of those physically making me sick), diverticulosis that causes those tiny seeds on strawberries to send me into a frenzy (I hate that because I love strawberries), a mild beef allergy, and a mild lactose problem. Thankfully, I’m NOT allergic to chocolate.

Because vaccines have eggs as ingredients, and my nurse friend is sensitive to eggs, she has to get special vaccines made without eggs.
My dad became allergic to seafood in his forties, having to be rushed to the hospital after eating shrimp one night in Chicago (he refused an ambulance due to the cost, and you should have seen that taxi driver drive like NASCAR to get him there).
So far I’ve avoided food sensitivities, but give me time. My body is weird.

I am a vegetarian by choice. But occasionally I would try fish and sea food. I loved shrimps. But in the last few years, I get stomach upset, nausea and even fever if I consumed shrimp or prawns.
