Allergy waiver

I am currently an undergraduate student interested in commissioning into the Navy via OCS for a pilot slot when I graduate. However, I had an allergic reaction to fish when I was a 5 year old (I ate a piece of fish and had a reaction, was administered Benadryl and was fine). Because of that I got an allergy test and found that I am allergic to salmon, flounder, and tuna however all other fish including shell fish are fine for me to eat. I just had another allergy test recently and the test came back that I do still in fact have an allergy to these three fish. I have lived with this allergy for 15 years and it has never affected my life I even worked at a restaurant in high school where I had to prepare and plate salmon and I had no problems being around it or touching it and I haven't had a reaction since the incident when I was a kid and when I did my most recent skin allergy test. Is something like this waiverable? I am asking this because upon my own research I have found that food allergies are an automatic disqualification from military service. Other than this I am perfectly healthy and would require no waivers for any other military or NAMI physical requirements.
