Bloated, inflamed and puffy: Differences between allergies and food intolerances
“Sure enough, as soon as I did, then it really decreased the frequency and intensity of the migraines,” Elliot said. “Then you say to yourself, ‘No, it can’t be the chocolate or it can’t be the red wine,’ and then you have the red wine and you get a migraine.”
Then in her late 30s, Elliot really dialed into how her diet was making her feel. She soon figured out she also has a gluten intolerance.“I started noticing the inflammation that was happening in my body whenever I would have something that had gluten in it. I would feel bloated, and my joints would feel inflamed and I would feel really puffy,” Elliot said.All of Elliot’s symptoms point to food intolerances, whereas allergies typically cause hives, swelling or even anaphylaxis.
Pediatric allergist, clinical immunologist and professor at McMaster University, Mariam Hanna, says food intolerances are often confused with allergies.“They may not cause the same symptoms as an allergy. So, frequently with intolerances, we hear about people having delayed tummy issues that sometimes happen and sometimes don’t happen.”
