a food sensitivity that does not show up with the standard food allergy tests
a general term to describe a reaction to food that causes symptoms that may be unpleasant
a more delayed reaction, often occurring hours or even days after eating certain foods
an adverse food-induced reaction that can cause great discomfort, but not death
an adverse reaction that can result from a variety of mechanisms including contamination, enzyme deficiencies (like lactose intolerance), metabolic diseases (like gluten intolerance), or behavioral disorders
a non-immune reaction to food or food additives
a reaction that does not involve the immune system
a set of symptoms which occur after eating a particular food, but which does not involve a reaction from your immune system
a condition whereby a person is unable to tolerate certain parts of foods. This is different from a food allergy because the immune system is not involved. An example is lactose intolerance, in which certain individuals cannot digest the sugar found in milk. Food intolerance is much more common than food allergy.
An abnormal response to food that is not immune-mediated. Signs of food intolerance can be similar to food allergy. Milk is the most common food intolerance in cats. Some cats lose the ability to digest lactose (milk sugar).
an adverse food-induced reaction that does not involve the immune system. Lactose intolerance is an example.
Food sensitivity that creates reaction by immune system.
Physiologically based reproducible, unpleasant (adverse) reaction to a specific food or food ingredient that is not immunologically based. RCP, 1984 RT food allergy.
an adverse reaction of the body to a certain food(s) that does not affect the immune system, although some symptoms may be the same as in food allergy. Lactose intolerance is an example.
Food intolerance or food sensitivity is a negative reaction to a food that is not related to the immune system or to food poisoning. It is caused by the absence of specific chemicals or enzymes needed to digest a food substance.
