How do I determine a food intolerance?
Do i actually have to spend weeks on end not eating certain foods? I think I have an intolerance to something common like dairy. Im going to go to the doctor and ask, but isnt there a blood test or something they can do?
They do have a test for dairy and wheat intolerance, but for other foods there is no test. I am very intolerant of all poultry, eggs, cherries, beets, and honey. There are no tests for these foods. I had to figure it out on my own.
What are similarities between food allergy and food intolerance?
I need 5 similarities and 5 differences thanks
Similarities: 1 they both make you sick, 2 you can get sick if you eat it unknowingly, 3 reactions can last for several days, 4 both can be hereditary, 5 either one can put you in the hospital.
Differences: 1 food allergies will show up on allergy tests, intolerance will not show up on an allergy test, 2 allergy symptoms usually happen sooner, like one hour or less; a food intolerance can take up to 12 hours to manifest itself, 3 a food allergy can cause analyphalaxis, intolerance will not, 4 allergies will cause asthma and hives, intolerance causes an upset stomach, 5 the lists of foods most likely to cause allergies or intolerance are different.
