Food intolerance

What is a food Intolerance?

  • Food intolerance (or more correctly "nutritional Intolerance") is a chronic reaction of the organism to oftenly consumed aliments (such as wheat, milk, tomato, oil, meat, coffee etc)
  • The symptoms do not appear immediately after food taking, as in allergies. They may appear after 2-3 days or more. Since the foods are used often, reaction can become continuous
  • Reactions could appear in a "masked" form; it means that if a person consumes daily a food that he cannot tolerate, he may never suspect the cause of his troubles, even chronic
  • Symptoms and alterations can be caused at the expense of any organ or system, character and behavior functions included
  • Symptoms are not proportional to the quantity of food. Even small quantities of food can cause intolerance
