What are symptoms of food allergies?

Q: I have a friend who thinks she is allergic to pretty much all foods. She says they make her head funny and cloudy. All of these “allergies” came out of nowhere, and she used to eat everything normally. My understanding is that an allergy would exhibit itself with hives or a rash, not a “funny head”.A naturopath got her believing all this crap, and she’ll hardly eat anything. This naturopath supposedly cured her of some of these “allergies”, but she still can’t eat anything.I think it is a pile of crap, and her lack of a reasonable diet is what is causing her to get nauseated when she does try to eat something, and she has her body so screwed up that it doesn’t know what to do with anything that goes into it.Anybody heard of anything like this?
