What is Food Intolerance?
1Digestive
Difficulties
Food intolerance occurs
when the body lacks the
enzymes or mechanisms
to properly break down
and absorb certain food
components.
2Immune Response
Unlike food allergies, food
intolerances do not
trigger an immune system
reaction. The symptoms
are more localized to the
digestive system.
3Variable Triggers
Common culprits include
lactose, gluten, and
certain additives, but the
specific trigger can vary
from person to person.
Common Food Intolerances
Lactose Intolerance
Difficulty digesting the sugar
found in dairy products.
Gluten Intolerance
Sensitivity to the protein found
in wheat, rye, and barley.
Histamine Intolerance
Inability to properly break
down the chemical histamine
found in certain foods.
Symptoms of Food Intolerance
Digestive Discomfort
Bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and
abdominal pain are common.
Headaches & Fatigue
Food intolerances can also trigger headaches,
migraines, and feelings of tiredness.
Skin Irritation
Rashes, eczema, and other skin issues may
develop due to food intolerances.
Mood Changes
Irritability, anxiety, and depression have been
linked to certain food intolerances.
Diagnosing Food Intolerance
1
Medical History
Review diet and symptom patterns to identify potential trigger foods.
2
Elimination Diet
Removing suspected foods from the diet to see if symptoms improve.
3
Diagnostic Tests
Blood, stool, or breath tests may be used to confirm specific intolerances.
Food Intolerance Testing
Blood Tests
Measure antibodies or enzyme
levels related to food
intolerances.
Breath Tests
Detect hydrogen or methane
levels that indicate incomplete
food digestion.
Stool Tests
Analyze stool samples for
markers of malabsorption or
inflammation.
Managing Food Intolerance
1
Identify Triggers
Determine which foods cause uncomfortable
symptoms through an elimination diet.
2
Adjust Diet
Avoid or limit consumption of problematic
foods to minimize digestive distress.
3
Supplement Enzymes
Consider taking digestive enzyme
supplements to aid in breaking down problem
foods.
Conclusion
By understanding the causes, symptoms, and management strategies for
food intolerance, individuals can take control of their digestive health and
enjoy a higher quality of life. Seeking professional guidance can help
pinpoint triggers and develop an effective plan for living well with food
intolerances.
