Common Food Sensitivities

Generally speaking, food sensitivities are the result of toxic responses to food and are divided into two categories: allergic responses; and food intolerances. The symptoms for food sensitivities are often the same as for an allergy, however, food sensitivities may also cause additional symptoms such as fatigue, gas, bloating, mood swings, nervousness, migraines and eating disorders.

Food allergies elicit an immune response while food intolerances do not. Another way of putting it is that a food intolerance response is any reproducible, toxic response to food that does not involve the immune system. It is most commonly a gastrointestinal reaction.
