Food intolerances are often mistaken with Food Allergies. Crucially, food allergies are a response to a specific food by the immune system which may result in potentially serious conditions such as itching, laboured breathing or an uncomfortable rash. For example, the most common food allergies in adults are considered to be fish or nuts whilst children are more likely to be allergic to nuts and fish as well as eggs or milk.

Food intolerances are less aggressive than food allergies and the onset of symptoms is much slower. The symptoms are likely to last longer but are not considered to be life threatening and the symptoms can often be mistaken with digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, gastrointestinal obstructions or other bowel diseases. The symptoms are caused by eating wheat or dairy products and can cause bloating or stomach cramps.

Lactose intolerance is an example of a food intolerance where the body struggles to digest lactose. Lactose intolerance may result in stomach pains or diarrhea and is commonly caused by milk or dairy products like yoghurt or certain cheeses.

Gluten is another problematic protein found in foods such as wheat, rye or barley and results in a common digestive condition called coeliac disease. It is neither an allergy or an intolerance to gluten but rather an autoimmune conditions where gluten is considered to be a threat to the body which in turn attempts to break it down.

In reality food allergies are less prevalent than food intolerances with studies showing that only 2% of the adult population affected.
