There is a lot of confusion about the terms food allergy and food intolerance. The two terms are commonly and incorrectly used interchangeably. There is no doubt that symptoms of food allergies and food intolerances both have a negative impact on a person’s health - my young son has both.
However it is really important to know the difference between the two terms or conditions. As some food allergies can cause life threatening reactions food allergies have to be managed and treated differently to health issues caused by food intolerances. By understanding signs and symptoms as well as the science behind a food allergy or food intolerance clearer choices about lifestyle, education and planning can be made.
The food intolerance network has a great informative fact sheet all about the differences between a food allergy and a food intolerance.
