Intolerance, food

Intolerance, food
Difficulty in digesting a food. Common offenders include milk products, wheat and other grains that contain gluten, and foods that tend to cause intestinal gas, such as cabbage or beans. Food intolerance is often mistaken for food allergy, but does not involve a histamine response against the food.
