Describe the difference between food intolerance and an allergic reaction to food

What will be an ideal response?


The difference between an allergic reaction to a food and intolerance to a food involves the immune system. A child who has food intolerance has an abnormal response to a food, but it does not compromise the general health and well-being of the child. A child who is intolerant to a food can eat small amounts of it and have little or no reaction. A child with an allergy to a food has a response that is triggered from the immune system; such a reaction may bring about a serious medical condition or may be life threatening.
