When certain foods reliably upset your gut, it's tempting to cut them out blindly — but understanding intolerances first saves a lot of needless restriction. This guide explains gluten, lactose, and other intolerances, and how to find your real triggers.
The difference between an intolerance, a sensitivity and an allergy, what celiac disease and lactose intolerance actually are, how they're tested, sensible elimination and reintroduction, and eating well while avoiding triggers.
