food intolerance

Body rejects ingredients

Food intolerance is difficulty digesting certain foods, causing discomfort like bloating, gas, or nausea.

Unlike food allergies, which trigger immune responses and can be life-threatening, intolerances are digestive problems—unpleasant but not dangerous.

Lactose intolerance is the most common: I developed a food intolerance to dairy in my thirties.
