I think it's important to note the difference between allergy and intolerance. What you seem to be referring to would not be an allergy. An allergy is an IgE mediated response - that's the definition. To call an intolerance or any other adverse reaction an "allergy" is incorrect and does a disservice to those who have true allergies.
Also, a negative allergy test does not necessarily mean you don't have an IgE mediated allergy - reaction history always trumps testing.
