How do food intolerances affect your digestion?

Laquita Niccols

Hey there friend!

Food intolerances can have a huge impact on my digestion since my body is unable to properly process certain foods. This can result in a number of uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, and stomach pain. It can also affect my overall health by leading to malabsorption of important nutrients.

One of the main ways that food intolerances affect my digestion is by causing inflammation in my digestive system. When I eat a food that my body is intolerant to, it triggers an immune response that leads to inflammation in the intestines. This inflammation can make it more difficult for the body to properly digest food and absorb nutrients, leading to further digestive issues.

Another way that food intolerances affect me is through bloating. When I eat a food that my body can't tolerate, it causes gas to build up in my intestines, leading to uncomfortable bloating. This can make me feel sluggish and uncomfortable, and can sometimes last for hours.

Food intolerances can also cause diarrhea, which is a result of the body trying to get rid of the offending food as quickly as possible. This can also lead to dehydration and other uncomfortable symptoms.

Overall, food intolerances can have a major impact on my digestive health and overall wellbeing. However, by avoiding trigger foods and working closely with my doctor to manage my symptoms, I have been able to live a healthy and happy life.
