Allergies & Food Intolerances
Food intolerance's, unlike an allergy do not involve an acute immune response.
Food intolerance's occur when a person is exposed to a reactive or hard to digest foods over a long period of time. The reaction is generally not dangerous or life threatening unlike some allergy responses, however an intolerance may severely impact the quality of life.
Removing the identified food intolerance from the diet is the first part of treatment along with addressing poor gut function and disrupted gut integrity.
