A food intolerance is different from a food allergy in that the immune system is not activated.

A true food allergy causes a person to develop a widespread rash, a skin itch, a wheeze or if severe a cardiac compromise.

Food intolerances are very common and true allergies are rare.

Two of the most important intolerances are lactose intolerance (diary products) and fructose intolerance (a naturally occuring sugar).

These conditions are due to inherited deficencies in gut function. They can present like irritable bowel syndrome.
