Understanding Food Intolerance

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.

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.
