Understanding Food Intolerances: A Comprehensive Guide

What Are Food Intolerances?

Food intolerances occur when your digestive system struggles to process certain foods. Unlike allergies, which trigger an immune response, intolerances are related to the digestive system and are generally less severe but can significantly affect your quality of life. These reactions may happen hours or even days after consuming the trigger food, making them difficult to pinpoint.

Common triggers include:

• Dairy: Often linked to lactose intolerance due to a lack of the enzyme lactase.
• Gluten: Found in wheat, barley, and rye, gluten sensitivity is not the same as celiac disease.
• Fructose: A natural sugar found in fruits, honey, and some processed foods.
• Eggs: Both the white and yolk can cause issues for some individuals.

How Do Food Intolerances Affect You?

The symptoms of food intolerances can vary widely but commonly include:

• Digestive discomfort such as bloating, diarrhea, or constipation.
• Chronic fatigue or low energy levels.
• Skin issues like acne or eczema.
• Headaches or migraines.
• Mood changes, including irritability or brain fog.

Left unmanaged, these symptoms can lead to long-term health impacts, such as poor gut health, nutritional deficiencies, or chronic inflammation.
