Food Intolerance

Food intolerance refers to the difficulty some people have in digesting certain foods, leading to uncomfortable symptoms. Unlike food allergies, which trigger an immune response, food intolerances involve the digestive system. Common symptoms include bloating, gas, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. They often result from a deficiency in enzymes needed to break down specific substances, like lactose in dairy. Intolerances can vary in severity, and individuals may need to avoid certain foods or limit their intake to manage symptoms effectively. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and dietary advice.
