My own theory is that when you give up anything for estended periods, you become sensitive to it. That's why many low carbers struggle to go back to a normal WOE if they ever wanted to. For me, once I didn't eat eggs for about a year or so. Today, I can't eat eggs. I used to digest EVERYTHING fine. MSG, aspartame, nitrates, sugars, legumes, gluten, dairy - it didn't matter.
One, I have up eating meat. I was vegetarian! Stuck with it for a while (was terrible bad for me though - a stupid plan). When I tried eating meat again, I couldn't! Gave me these shuddering pains. Eventually I managed to get used to digesting meat again, but it was quite hard.
So, I think, it you leave anything out of your diet long enough, you can find it difficult to tolerate when you try again. I think food intolerances are linked to several things: leaky gut, liver gallstones, gut flora, and how "used to" a thing you are. I have heard of many people obtaining relief from a wide variety of allergies by doing the liver-gallbladder flush enough times. Hasn't worked for me yet though :-)
