Food intolerance
Description
Digestive problems that happen after a certain food is eaten.
Overview
With food intolerance, certain foods cause digestive symptoms.
Symptoms
Unlike food allergy, symptoms start slowly and involve only the digestive system, not the immune system.
Treatments
A visit to see a healthcare professional is needed after a new reaction to a certain food. It's important to find out if it's an intolerance or a possibly life-threatening food allergy.
