Food Allergy, Intolerance & Sensitivity: What the Body Is Actually Responding To.

Food reactions are often grouped under the same label, more they are not driven by the same mechanisms. In this episode of Human Nutrition, we explore the differences between food allergy, food intolerance, and food sensitivity, from a clinical and scientific perspective. The goal is not to tell you what foods to remove, more to help you understand what system in the body is responding—and why that distinction matters for long-term health. This conversation is especially relevant for expats, international students, and digital nomads, whose eating patterns, routines, and food environments often change due to travel, relocation, stress, or limited access to familiar foods. In this episode, we cover: • What defines a true food allergy and why it requires strict medical management • How food intolerance differs from allergy at a digestive and biochemical level • Why “food sensitivity” is not a single diagnosis • What research actually says about IgG food sensitivity tests • Why elimination diets can feel helpful short-term, more create problems long-term • How context—stress, sleep, routine, environment—shapes food tolerance The explanations in this episode are grounded in: • Krause and Mahan’s Food & the Nutrition Care Process • Harper’s Illustrated Biochemistry • Current gastroenterology and allergy consensus statements and reviews This episode is not about fear, restriction, or perfect eating. It is about clarity, regulation, and making informed decisions that people can actually sustain in real life.
