I have had this since I was a young teen. But it got more and more intense as the years went by. So I had it for 30 years without a diagnosis. In my teens I would have to eat a whole bag of Doritos to get sick (but of course teens DO eat whole bags of doritos). And I just put it down to getting sick from gluttony. By the time I was 40, just a little modified food starch in something was enough to make me really sick.

I think these things are dose dependent and time dependent- so even though a child might have an allergy, I think it often takes time for the body to get really sensitive. If your wife's niece was binge eating in college, as college kids do- since they aren't notorious for eating normal balanced meals at normal times- I could see how it could have gotten a lot worse then.
