There are several reasons for this -- first of which is that the
population of the USis derivede from an extremely diverse ethnic stock. 
Each group brings their own particular food problems to the mix...

Part, too, is due to factors of diet and environment that are just
starting to be studied (things like connections between auto-immune
responses and early introduction of cows milk into the diet, for
example).

Part of it is that people use the word "allergy" for "that upsets my
stomach" or "that gives me gas" or  "I think it tastes absolutely
putrid".
