Increasingly, food intolerances manifest as digestive symptoms, often caused by intestinal irritation. Although they are similar to those of a food allergy, they differ in the absence of an immune response. Nevertheless, as with allergies, the management of food intolerance involves the more or less strict elimination of certain foods from the diet.

Unlike food allergies, which involve an immune response, food intolerances result from difficulty digesting certain foods. The symptoms, while sometimes similar, are generally less severe and not life-threatening.
In an allergy, the immune system mistakenly attacks a specific component of the food, causing an often immediate and potentially serious reaction. Intolerance, on the other hand, does not mobilize the immune system and symptoms usually occur later, after digestion.
Treatment of food intolerance is based on accurate identification of the offending food(s). Medical follow-up and specific tests help to confirm the diagnosis. Eliminating or reducing consumption of the offending foods then becomes the key to relieving symptoms and improving quality of life.
While food allergies trigger an immediate and often acute immune response, food intolerances are more chronic and subtle. Symptoms, although varied, usually occur several hours after consumption of the offending food and may include:
The presence of these symptoms is not sufficient to confirm food intolerance. In fact, these symptoms may be associated with other digestive pathologies. An accurate diagnosis requires close collaboration with a physician and dietician, leading to in-depth investigations.
If a person suspects a link between the above symptoms and a particular food, it's important to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Before consultation, it may be helpful to eat the suspected food several times (at intervals of several days) to confirm the association between the food and the symptoms experienced.
Except tests for lactose and gluten intolerance, there is no accurate, reliable medical test to diagnose food intolerance.
To diagnose lactose intolerance in Turkey, patients can undergo the following tests:
In case of symptoms suggesting gluten intolerance, a complementary examination can be performed by a gastroenterologist in Turkey. This includes:
