Too late. You went there. No, not an onion ... I would have noticed. 
I can eat them cooked, whatever it is that I have always been allergic to is destroyed by heat. But ... it's just so damn strange. I have been allergic to raw tomato ever since I was little. Just one seed would throw me into anaphylactic shock. In fact, I had a little scare just a few months ago that put me into the ER.
Allergies don't just poof disappear like that ... so it's just bizarre. I'm used to my body doing bizarre things .... it never has skewed as "normal" on anyone's scale .... but this is beyond weird.

Obviously, you got a mutant tomato. Whatever cultivar that was on your sandwich, it was missing (or mutated beyond your immune system's ability to recognize) the protein that you are allergic to. Since that protein is not something that was being selected for in commercial (in)breeding, it's just the luck of the draw that the protein was mutated in that particular cultivar/plant.
