I know someone who was allergic to onion and garlic. Their food choices made me sad, but yeah, go get checked for food allergies if you can. That not being weird enough, lymphatic cancer cured them of the allergy.

Every time I eat onions, it takes about 3 minutes until it feels like someone is repeatedly stabbing me in the guts with a rusty knife

Might be an allergy. I used to have something like this with some foods some years ago. What’s interesting is that now I don’t seem to have it any more with the same foods; it might be true what they say about allergies - that they come and go. Not a medical professional - just speaking from my experience.

Nobody says the come and go. They can come on later in life but once there you are basically stuck with it. Reason being is that allergies are an immune reaction. These are mediated by immune cells, antibodies, that bind to the $insert_bad_thing and put a “murder me” sign on its back. These cell are produced by long lived immune cells.
