Food intolerances occur due to the lack of an enzyme needed to digest certain foods or, sometimes, as a reaction to additives or naturally occurring compounds in foods. Individuals with food intolerances may be able to eat small amounts of bothersome foods.
Do food sensitivities change over time?
Intolerance to certain foods, including milk, becomes more common with age. In contrast, many food allergies are outgrown by adulthood, though nut, fish and shellfish allergies tend to persist throughout life.
What causes sudden food sensitivities?
Food intolerances arise if the body is unable to digest a certain food. This impairment may be due to a lack of digestive enzymes or a sensitivity to certain chemicals.
