What actually is food intolerance?

Nutritional intolerances are an allergic reaction of the body, but with a less extreme direct effect than with a real food allergy (think of nut allergies, where people can even suffocate by ingesting one nut).

Nutritional intolerances generally do not directly involve such extreme symptoms, but do have major consequences for general health in the long term. In addition to (chronic) physical complaints, food intolerances can also contribute to behavioral disorders, psychological complaints and sexual problems.

Children often respond to intolerances by behavioral change, and adults through (by medical science) often incomprehensible syndromes.

How much or how often do food intolerances occur?

In Europe, no less than 45% of all adults are intolerant to one or more ‘ordinary’ foods such as milk, wheat, yeast or eggs.

As many as 60% of all children have a food intolerance! The reaction to food intolerance in children is generally different than by adults.

This is largely due to our historical background and often has a direct relationship with, among other things, new developments in mass production, growth and pesticides, genetic manipulation, artificial fragrance, color and flavorings (e-numbers) and the import of non-indigenous products. foods. Adaptation to new types of food can take up to 4 generations!

But intolerance to foods can also be genetically determined. Think for example of gluten or lactose intolerance. So in these cases you cannot do anything about it yourself, but what you can work on is knowing where your body is intolerant too.
