I Have Food Allergies
I'm allergic to some foods and intolerant to others. I find it difficult to really know the difference, but I believe the former is an immune response and it is immediate. The latter is more an irritation to certain systems of the body.
I am allergic to palm products (sugar and oil) - I have an immediate violent reaction. The same with MSG, preservatives, and gluten (I have coeliacs disease).
I am intolerant to members of the nightshade family: potatoes, egg plant, capsicum, chilli, tamarilo, tomato, tobacco. If someone is smoking a cigarette within smelling distance, I have a very strong adverse physical and psychological reaction. The same with eating tomatoes etc... they cause some kind of chemical imbalance in my brain which results in acute depression.
