idiosyncrasy 

an abnormal physical reaction by an individual to a food or drug.

The term "idiosyncrasy" typically refers to a personal habit or quirk, not a medical reaction. However, there are some related terms you could use:

Hypersensitivity: This describes an abnormal sensitivity to a substance, including food or drugs.
Adverse reaction: This is a more general term for any negative response to a substance.
Idiosyncratic reaction: This combines the idea of an individual reaction ("idiosyncratic") with the general concept of a response ("reaction"). It's not as common as hypersensitivity, but it conveys the same meaning.
Here's an example sentence using "hypersensitivity":

John suffered from a peanut hypersensitivity, causing him to break out in hives whenever he ate peanuts.

idiotsyncracy

Any method or procedure
based in ritual or dogma
that continues by force of momentum
beyond the limits of common sense,
excepting personal, faith-based sacraments, of course.

The idiotsyncracy of democracy
evolved solutions to its own travesties...
the 'square deal, square meal' plan, for example.
