Understanding

Food Intolerances


Food intolerances refer to difficulties in digesting certain foods. Foods comprise proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, fats, and natural compounds that contribute to their taste and aroma. Any of these components can trigger symptoms of food intolerance. It’s crucial to differentiate between food intolerance and a food allergy, where even a small amount can trigger an immune response. Food intolerance often develops gradually and might occur when you frequently consume excessive amounts of a particular food. To gain more insights into food intolerances and their potential impact on your digestive health, reach out to Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates for a consultation. Our experts provide effective treatment for food intolerances in Texas, assisting you and your family in managing this condition effectively.

Recognizing Symptoms and Origins of Food Intolerances


Food intolerances can give rise to a variety of symptoms. Some common ones include:

  • Frequent loose stools
  • Nighttime sweating
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Skin Issues
    (like rashes and eczema)
  • Joint discomfort
  • Under-eye swelling
  • Fatigue
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal bloating

Food intolerance is highly individualized and often stems from foods that cause no harm to the majority of people. Several primary sources encompass:

  • Histamine-rich foods
    (e.g., aged or fermented products)
  • Specific naturally occurring compounds, including additives
  • Various synthetic substances, additives, and colorants used in packaged foods
  • Certain foods, such as raw red kidney beans or chickpeas, which contain toxins
  • Natural chemicals present in select vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices
  • Deficiency of necessary enzymes for digesting particular foods

Managing Food Intolerances Effectively


Differentiating between food intolerances and allergies relies on recognizing the pattern and type of symptoms. Maintaining an accurate food diary and tracking reactions aids in pinpointing potential trigger foods. Once you identify problematic foods, it’s advisable to temporarily exclude them from your diet with medical oversight. Our skilled GI providers at Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates will monitor your progress and symptom relief. Subsequently, the suspected foods are gradually reintroduced to confirm the intolerance.
