Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ALLERGY AND A FOOD SENSITIVITY/INTOLERANCE?
A: Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to environmental triggers, causing tissue inflammation, organ dysfunction and many other symptoms. Sensitivities may include allergies but are usually a digestive system response. Allergies and sensitivities can invoke a response in your immune system, but the allergy typically triggers the immediate antibody reaction, while sensitivity triggers a slower response in your cells.
