In Australia, food-related health issues are common, but it’s important to understand the difference between a food sensitivity and a food allergy.
Key Differences
- Allergies involve the immune system and can cause severe reactions.
- Sensitivities usually affect digestion and energy but are not life-threatening.
Common Sensitivities in Australia
Wheat, dairy and soy are frequent culprits. With a busy, modern lifestyle, processed foods also contribute to rising intolerance rates.
Managing Reactions
Testing can identify which foods are causing issues. Adjusting your diet and seeking professional advice allows many Australians to enjoy better health and vitality. By knowing the difference, you can make safe, informed choices for you and your family.
