Understanding Food Intolerance

Food Intolerance happens when the body develops a sensitivity towards certain food due to inability to digest them. This inability may happen due to more than one reason such as Celiac disease, lack of digestive enzymes, psychological dysfunction, or irritable bowel syndrome. Food intolerance can happen in any person irrespective of their age.

Why do you get suddenly intolerant?

The sudden intolerance in the body can happen due to both physical and psychological factors. Irritable bowel syndrome, celiac, and absence or shortage of digestive enzymes can cause sudden food intolerance.

How can you recover?

The first step towards recovery is to spot the symptoms and get a food intolerance test done at the earliest. Based on the test results, you need to make dietary changes and completely avoid foods that are causing intolerance. Gradually, you gut health will improve and you can then reintroduce some foods occasionally and in less quantity. To make your recovery process much more efficient and smoother, you may consult a doctor.
