Food allergy: Food allergies are not related to antibiotics. You do not mention what food and what symptoms you have, it may not be allergy.

4 months?: I am wondering why you took antibiotics for such a pronged period. And this may well have changed your GI flora. But to develop "allergies" seems unrelated to the antibiotics as such.By all means take "probiotics" or pick up food with probiotics within: fresh natural organic yogurt, kefir drinks, goodbellly drinks etc...
