Food allergy and intolerance are conditions where your body reacts abnormally to certain foods. A food allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies a specific food as harmful and triggers an immediate reaction such as hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, or even anaphylaxis. On the other hand, food intolerance does not involve the immune system but can cause digestive issues like bloating, stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea after consuming certain foods.

While food allergies can be life-threatening and require strict avoidance of the allergen, food intolerance often depends on the quantity consumed and may be managed through dietary adjustments. Both conditions can significantly affect your lifestyle and overall well-being if not properly addressed.

With timely diagnosis and personalized care, it is possible to identify food triggers, prevent reactions, and live a healthier, more confident life.
