Food Allergy or Intolerance
Food intolerance happens when the body cannot digest certain substances in foods or drinks. As a result, the immune system may protect the body and lead to bloating and other symptoms. Most cases of food intolerance may be triggered by lactose (in dairy products) or gluten (in grains).
Food allergies occur when a substance in foods that you are allergic to causes an immune response that results in digestive issues, including bloating. Common foods that cause allergies may include tree nuts, peanuts, dairy products, and eggs. [3]
