An intolerance or food sensitivity is inconvenient but not life-threatening. […] Food intolerance means your gut is sensitive to certain foods and cant tolerate them. When you eat these foods, you may experience uncomfortable symptoms like gas, diarrhea and abdominal pain. […] You may need to change your diet to limit or eliminate problem foods. Many people with food intolerances find that consuming small amounts of food causes few symptoms if any. When symptoms occur, over-the-counter medicines like antacids or antidiarrheals can help.

[…] Food intolerance does not involve the immune system and does not cause severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). […] Food intolerance is a chemical reaction that some people have after eating or drinking some foods; it is not an immune response. Food intolerance has been associated with asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). […] The easiest way to treat a food allergy or intolerance is to eliminate the offending food/s from the diet. Sometimes, the body can tolerate the food if it is avoided for a time, then reintroduced in small doses, particularly for food intolerances. Before you eliminate or reintroduce foods, seek advice from a clinical immunology/allergy specialist or dietitian.

The problem in food intolerance lies in the digestive system, not in the immune system as in food allergies, though the symptoms of the two types of food reactions can be similar. […] There is no treatment for food intolerance, but uncomfortable symptoms can be avoided by eliminating problem-causing foods from your child’s diet. That requires care in preparing meals, careful reading of labels, and diligence in asking how food is prepared when eating out. […] Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) provides multidisciplinary care, bringing together the expertise of GI specialists, registered dietitians, clinical psychologists and feeding therapists. Members from the Food Allergy Center, Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (GI), Clinical Nutrition, and Integrative Health provide testing and support in the Food Reactions Clinic. Through this collaborative approach, we are able to provide state-of-the-art treatment to young patients with food intolerances.

Nutrition care staff ensure they are noted in the residents medical chart and on the diet list and high risk intolerances are noted as such and documented accordingly. It is prudent to obtain information from previous caregivers/homes and to create a communication plan for all staff. Strategies should be developed based on the inherent risk associated with the allergy or intolerance; this can include the use of identification/signage for the resident to alert staff, assessing seating assignments in the dining room, individualizing of snacks and meals.

  FA and FI are best diagnosed by a specialist. For FA, tests measuring levels of food IgE antibodies may be useful, although a positive result may not mean the person is allergic to that food. There are currently no reliable tests to diagnose FI except when lactose intolerance is suspected. Once diagnosed, the only current treatment for FA or FI is avoidance of the known food trigger(s). Anyone with suspected or diagnosed FA or FI, who has cut out foods from their diet, needs to make sure their diet is not nutritionally unbalanced. An expert assessment of the diet is essential for all children on food avoidance diets, and also for adults who are excluding milk or wheat. People with FA should also always carry their prescribed medication with them and know when and how to take it. Some children will grow out of an FA, so teenage or young adults with an FA diagnosed in childhood should be reviewed.

[…] Food intolerance does not cause bloody or black stools, fainting, abnormal heart rates, muscle weakness or seizures. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should speak to your primary care provider. […] Tests can confirm food intolerance for certain foods or substances. Yet, there is no test for many foods. Try keeping a journal of what you eat, and monitor it for instances when symptoms flare up. You may discover specific foods that cause your symptoms. Try avoiding them in the future. Treatment depends on the intolerance. Typically, lactose intolerance is treated by avoiding or limiting lactose-containing foods or with drug therapy, such as an over-the-counter product. […] If you have concerns or questions about potential food allergy or food intolerance, meet with your primary care provider to determine if an allergist, gastroenterologist or registered dietitian needs to evaluate you.

  A food intolerance is different than a true food allergy. A food intolerance causes a reaction that does not trigger the immune system.

[…] Determining residents food allergies, intolerances and nutritional or chemical sensitivities is the first step in managing them. Nutrition care staff ensure they are noted in the residents medical chart and on the diet list and high risk intolerances are noted as such and documented accordingly. It is prudent to obtain information from previous caregivers/homes and to create a communication plan for all staff. Strategies should be developed based on the inherent risk associated with the allergy or intolerance; this can include the use of identification/signage for the resident to alert staff, assessing seating assignments in the dining room, individualizing of snacks and meals. Home and Nursing Administrators should be made aware of high risk situations and the strategies that have been implemented to manage the risk.
