Food sensitivities and intolerances are more common than food allergies, according to the British Allergy Foundation. Neither involves the immune system. A food triggers an intolerance in your digestive tract. This is where your body can't properly break it down, or your body reacts to a food you're sensitive to.

CONT

A food sensitivity is an adverse reaction to a food that other people can safely eat. Food sensitivities include food allergies, food intolerances and chemical sensitivities.
