Allergy vs. Intolerance: Know the Difference
2 Sep
Summary
- Food allergies can be outgrown, unlike intolerances.
- Symptoms like rashes and diarrhea overlap between conditions.
- Seek urgent medical help for breathing difficulties.
Understanding the difference between a food allergy and an intolerance is important for managing your health. Some food allergies, like those to cow's milk and eggs, can be outgrown over time.
Symptoms for both conditions can manifest quickly or days later. Rashes, itchy skin, and gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea and sickness are common to both, making professional diagnosis essential. Anyone experiencing breathing difficulties or throat swelling, indicative of anaphylaxis, must seek urgent medical help immediately.
