What is food intolerance?
Many people confuse a food allergy with a food intolerance. With an allergy, reactions are usually immediate and can include rashes, sneezing and even anaphylactic shock in extreme cases. With a food intolerance, reactions may take several hours or even days to occur. Symptoms can range from bloating and migraines to lethargy, skin problems and generally feeling unwell.
