Proteins tend to be more allergenic than other foods, but my daughter is
allergic to strawberries (no protein). My other daughter is allergic to rice.
My son is allergic to ragweed. No, they don't have to be protein. My niece is
allergic to sugar (refined beet).
When your body, for whatever reason, misinterprets a food for an invader
(germ) or an inhalant (dust, mold, weeds), it can misinterpret a nonprotein
for a protein.
