Food intolerance is a complex allergic disease caused by food. In theory, after entering the digestive tract, food should be digested to the level of amino acids and monosaccharides so that it can be completely absorbed by the body. Due to individual differences, when the ingested food protein can not be completely digested and absorbed, the macromolecular food protein directly enters the body through the intestinal mucosa, stimulating its own immune system to produce food-specific IgG antibodies, and the antibody forms an immune complex with food macromolecules. In the body, the occurrence of various clinical symptoms is induced. Leonard, the protagonist of the American drama “Big Bang”, suffers from lactose intolerance, which is one of the common types of food intolerance.

So how do we know what kind of food is intolerant? Can’t you tolerate food in the future? What is the difference between food intolerance and food allergy?

First of all, more and more hospitals in China have begun to introduce food intolerance testing programs, usually within a week, patients can get test results. . According to the degree of grading on the results, we can see at a glance which kind of food is intolerant. At the same time, we believe that in the near future, China’s food intolerance test should be implemented in the medical examinations in community hospitals as it has been practiced many years ago in the UK, so that everyone can test and monitor anytime, anywhere.

Second, the intolerant food is not to be eaten in the future. After 3-6 months of general dietary adjustment, the level of specific IgG can be reduced to normal levels. After 3-6 months of ingestion, the food intolerance review is repeated. If the original positive food turns negative, you can slowly try to re-feed these foods, but the re-inclusion time of different foods needs at least one week.
