Food Allergy or Food Intolerance?

Food allergies are actually quite rare, so if you consistently experience gastrointestinal distress after eating a particular food it is more than likely you have a food intolerance. However, it is still possible the problem is caused by an immune response in the digestive tract, in which case it would be an allergy. You would do well to visit a specialist in food allergies in Somis CA, especially if you experience any of these other common food allergy symptoms:

  • Trouble breathing

  • Swelling of lips or tongue
