It's not hard to believe that immune responses (allergic reactions being one end of that spectrum) are affected by the body's response to ingested substances. Especially given how strongly the gut microbiota affect blood chemistry.
It's also good to be aware of how strong the nocebo effect can be in this context. If you are convinced of the danger of something it can lead to significant issues. For an extreme example, severe airborne peanut allergy seems to be hard to be reproduce in controlled studies, yet there's people having significant symptoms from this, like lack of breathing etc.
Basically, when it comes to food, a lot of skepticism, including to our own experience, is often required. The risk is that we otherwise end up with unnecessary restrictive eating.
Personally I have a lot of things I "can't" eat, but even then, I try to challenge it now and then, sometimes I find something in a category I can actually eat and sometimes it turns out that I can eat it in low amounts or slowly learn to handle it.

High uric acid causes high blood pressure as well as gout.
High amounts of fructose, when digested, causes inflammation, and results in elevated uric acid.
Your body can digest small amounts of fructose in your intestines, which is why eating fruits (along with the higher fibre content) doesn't cause the ensuing inflammation.
Purines in beer can also result in high uric acid.
The inflammation from high intake of fructose causes your body to go into fat storage mode from fat-burning mode (bears/birds will increase fructose intake to increase fat storage before their long hibernation/migration south).
As humans get older, their body will adjust to convert glucose into fructose when sodium levels increase (by the time you notice your thirst from eating salty foods, your body has already switched into glucose->fructose conversion). read statements above to see what happens when your body processes fructose.
