Can milk ejection reflex be affected by a food allergy reaction?

I know this is a strange question, but I was hoping that maybe someone on here has experienced something like this. My baby, Tommy, has food allergies and I did an elimination diet. I’d always had trouble with my milk not letting down until I started a gluten free diet. (It turns out that Tom Cat’s allergic to oats and barley.) As soon as I started the gf diet my milk started to not only flow on demand, but also leak between feedings. As long as I avoid his allergens, I’m fine. But if I accidently eat something with barley, the milk stops coming. I’ve breastfed before and never had letdown problems, but I’m aware that stresses to your body can cause new allergies to develop, and I’d been pregnant (obviously) and had also had a very bad infection in my c-section incision. I can’t blame stress because I was WAY more stressed out when my other kids were babies than I was this time around. So is it possible that I, too, am allergic to barley? Could this be a delayed reaction?
