Is biting an allergic/intolerance symptom?

Does anyone know if biting is an allergic/intolerance symptom?

DD (9.5 months) has been biting me at the end of a nursing session since April 10th. She has done it every single time. She knows it's a no-no, and she sometimes shakes her head before she does it or right after. I am not sure if this is just a teething/nursing issue, or if it could be food related.

She is teething but she has gone through it 6 times already and she has never bitten me so consistently like this. Do they do this sometimes if there is discomfort in their gut?

My DD1 would bite me and then scream at me, and not nurse, when she was 10 months old (it was when her top teeth were coming in), and my DS did the same thing at 8 months (his top teeth coming in as well). For me, though, they wouldn't nurse at all (tried for a couple weeks, pumped and tried to give in a bottle or cup, etc. and they wouldn't take it at all) so for them, it was related to teething I think. DD1 doesn't have food intolerances, and at the time I knew about DS's milk/soy intolerances. But nothing surprises me about food intolerances anymore.

hmm...maybe I will wait another couple of weeks and see what happens. She has 3 teeth on top and 3 on the bottom already, so this teething thing is not that new to her. I was wondering if it could be because I cheated and had a some pastries a while back.
