In this episode we discuss a common problem and unravel the difference between food allergy and food intolerance and some of the problems that emerge from both. It is common for people to get very confused by this topic. So it's good to divide food allergy and food intolerance into two different areas.

 

Food is one of the biggest relationships that we have with the outside world. When you span the whole digestive system, if you put it out and cover the whole surface area it would cover a tennis court, which means when we introduce food into our body we have a huge area that could be impacted.

 

So what is a food allergy? What is a food intolerance? And what are the different impacts they each have on our body? Why has there been such an increase in food allergies? We will cover all these questions and more so tune in!

 

This is our first episode in the series of “Listener Requests” on topics that our listener’s would like covered on the show. Make sure to send us your requests and we will endeavour to cover the requests in upcoming shows.
