An intolerance occurs when the body has difficulty digesting or breaking down certain foods, possibly due to enzyme deficiencies and overall gastrointestinal health.

After identifying a food or environmental intolerance, temporarily removing the item from your dietary and lifestyle exposure may reduce your severity of response upon future exposures.

What are the symptoms?

Allergic response symptoms include swelling, hives, rash, itching skin, swelling of the throat, breathing difficulties, and vomiting.
