What food intolerances are there?

It is very frustrating when you do not feel good after eating a certain product. If you experience this every time you eat something from a certain food group, it could mean that you have an intolerance. The symptoms can vary greatly and are sometimes difficult to recognize. This is very annoying and the only solution is to avoid these foods. But for which food groups exactly can you have an intolerance?

Lactose intolerance

One of the most common intolerances is lactose intolerance. After consuming dairy products you can get a bloated feeling, suffer from diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramps. This is very frustrating and can at times be painful. It can affect daily life to a great extent because dairy products are used in many products. If you have a lactose intolerance you should not only avoid dairy products, but also certain types of chips, pasta, sauces and toothpaste.

Gluten intolerance

Gluten intolerance is also very common. Yet many people still walk around with gluten intolerance without knowing it. This is because the symptoms for some are less severe, therefore they are often not associated with gluten intolerance. When you have a gluten intolerance there are many products that should be avoided, think of cookies and bread. In addition, there are also many products that you would not expect to find gluten in them. Think of licorice, certain types of ice cream, beer and peanut butter. Fortunately, in many supermarkets you can find a shelf with gluten-free products. So you can still eat cookies and pizza from time to time.

Nut intolerance

When you have nut intolerance this can lead to severe symptoms. Nuts are used in many products, but you often don’t notice it. In addition, products that do not contain nuts can still contain traces of nuts. Even these traces can even lead to complaints. Nuts are used in many types of candy, chocolate, salads and in broths. So it’s best to do some thorough research on what you can and cannot eat when you find out you have a nut allergy.

Shellfish intolerance

If you have an intolerance to seafood, it is very important to avoid these products. The reaction of this type of intolerance can be very severe. Fortunately, products containing these animals are often recognizable, but be careful with certain soups and crackers.
