Food intolerance occurs when the body has a chemical reaction to eating a particular food or drink.
The symptoms for mild to moderate food allergy or intolerance may sometimes be similar, but food intolerance does not involve the immune system and does not cause severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis).
