These symptoms can often be complicated, making it difficult to determine whether they are caused by a food intolerance or an allergy.

At Dr. Faiez Ghanam Dermatology, Cosmetic & Laser Center in Dubai, we offer comprehensive food intolerance testing to help you identify and manage your symptoms effectively.

Quite often, it is difficult to determine whether the patient has a food intolerance or an allergy because the signs and symptoms often overlap. Also, onset can occur quickly or only several hours after ingesting the offending food or compound and can persist for days. Symptoms are broadly classified as follows:
Foods to Avoid
Dairy: Lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency of lactase enzymes, leading to digestive symptoms.
Gluten: Found in wheat, barley, rye, and triticale, gluten can cause severe reactions in those with celiac disease.
Caffeine: Sensitivity to caffeine, often linked to genetics, can result in difficulty metabolizing and excreting caffeine.
FODMAPS: Poorly absorbed in the small intestine, these carbohydrates can cause issues in the large intestine.
Histamine: Some individuals cannot break down histamine properly, leading to a buildup in the body.

The Difference Between Food Intolerance and Food Allergy
A food intolerance reaction often resembles a food allergy reaction, causing confusion. However, only a true food allergy triggers an immune system response. While food allergies can sometimes be severe or life-threatening, food intolerances typically result in mild digestive reactions. Common food allergies in the US include eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, shellfish, wheat, and fish.
