Food Intolerance When foods and drinks are digested the proteins within them are broken down into smaller fragments for easy absorption into the body. Larger fragments can pass through without breaking down, and sometimes the body reacts by attacking them using antibodies called Immunoglobulin G’s (IgG). Food allergy is very rare – in fact 2% of adults suffer from a food allergy. The best way of explaining the differences are here: Food Intolerance – Symptoms Reactions up to 72 hours after eating – Immediate reactions (2 hours or less) Multiple foods can be involved – Rarely more than 1 to 2 foods Any organ system can be affected – Primarily skin, airways and digestive system Very common – Trace amounts of foods can cause reactions Difficult to self-diagnose – Caused by raised IgE antibody Symptoms can clear after avoidance (3-6 months) – Lifelong Symptoms of food intolerance can take up to 72 hours to appear after eating the trigger food or group of foods. On average people who suffer from food intolerances usually have between 4 and 8 trigger foods. Many people suffer for years, having formed a coping mechanism to deal with the symptoms but being unable to enjoy a normal work and home life. Many people don’t realise that there are easy steps to take that could resolve their condition.Lactose intolerance Histamine intolerant Gluten sensitivity Salicylate intolerance FODMAP intolerance Sulfite sensitivity
