Food allergy and intolerance may seem like similar conditions, but they are different and affect your health in distinct ways.
According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), food allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly treats certain foods as harmful.
This triggers a range of symptoms, such as skin rashes, stomach issues, or even difficulty breathing.
On the other hand, food intolerance usually happen in the digestive system, where the body struggles to break down certain foods properly.
