WHAT IS FOOD INTOLERANCE?
What Is Food Intolerance?
Food intolerance is when your body has trouble processing certain foods. Unlike a food allergy (which triggers a rapid immune response), intolerance reactions are non-allergic and usually slower to appear.
Food Intolerance
Difficulty digesting certain foods. Symptoms often delayed by hours.
Food Allergy
Immune system reaction to a trigger. Often faster onset. See Food Sensitivity vs Food Allergy.
⏱️ Delayed Symptoms
Many people feel symptoms hours later—so the cause isn’t obvious.
🔎 Hard to Pinpoint
When you eat multiple foods per day, identifying triggers by memory is tough.
🧭 A Better Starting Point
Testing can provide a clearer direction so you don’t have to guess — and identify food intolerances you might not figure out on your own.
