Hi all!
I'm currently working on topics for my bachelors thesis and wanted to write about the mind-body connection and food allegies/intolerances (but man, are journal articles hard to find for that topic).
During my research I found this article published in 2003 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. It's about a patient who reacted with typical allergy symptoms after eating products containing peanuts, until they did a double-blind study where the patient didn't react.

Here's the link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0091674903701778 (Psychosomatic peanut allergy)
Maybe someone finds it helpful or interesting!
 
I just read an article in a science blog where they found that the geometrically exploding 'peanut allergy' is directly a result of peanut Fears...parents not introducing it into the diet of kids early....because of 'Peanut Allergy'.
