Food intolerance is often confused with food allergy. But both are different things. Food intolerance is when a person has some physiological lacking in digesting a specific food. Lactose intolerance is a classic example of food intolerance when people are unable to digest lactose due to lack of enzyme that aids in the digestion of lactose. Thus, they get uncomfortable while consuming dairy products like cheese, milk, yogurt etc. On the other hand, food allergy involves our immune system and can make a person show mild (skin rashes, diarrhea, vomiting) to severe (breathing problems, anaphylaxis) type symptoms.
It is to be kept in mind that food intolerance is more widespread than food allergies and the associated conditions like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), asthmatic attacks and chronic fatigue syndrome cannot be ruled out. Conventional treatment methods advise to stay away from the food intolerant to the patient. Homoeopathy delves deeper to look for the inherent cause that lies within the body and helps it heal through effective and potent medications.
