这篇文章问什么样的社会学见解的食物过敏和食物不耐受的分析可能提供。我们概述了在免疫学，临床和流行病学文献中围绕食物过敏和食物不耐受的争论参数，以确定可能阐明我们对两者增加的社会学理解的分析链。食物过敏和食物不耐受是有争议的和偶然的术语，并且突出的是，真正的食物过敏一词在医学科学，流行病学和流行病学话语中充满，以驳斥虚假的或“非过敏性”的食物相关症状。复杂性理论被引入作为一种手段，获得分析购买的食物过敏的辩论。文章的结论是，使用这种观点提供了一个当代的“双重诠释学”的例子，在当代的食物过敏的解释的意义和解释都渗透，并可以通过诉诸复杂性思维的意义。
This article asks what sociological insights an analysis of food allergy and food intolerance might afford. We outline the parameters of debates around food allergy and food intolerance in the immunological, clinical and epidemiological literatures in order to identify analytic strands which might illuminate our sociological understanding of the supposed increase in both. Food allergy and food intolerance are contested and contingent terms and it is salient that the term true food allergy is replete throughout medico-scientific, epidemiological and popular discourses in order to rebuff spurious or 'nonallergic' claims of food-related symptoms. Complexity theory is introduced as a means of gaining analytic purchase on the food allergy debate. The article concludes that the use of this perspective provides a contemporary example of the 'double hermeneutic', in that the meanings and interpretations of contemporary explanations of food allergy are both permeated by, and can be made sense of, through recourse to complexity thinking.
