I had asked the questition of the difference bettween allergy and intolernce
to Dr.  Roby his reply was that the difference was not really significant.
Food allery is when you have a reaction to a certain food every time you eat
it.  Food intolerance is when you have a reaction to a food depending on the
frequency that you eat it and other allergies that you bring with it, such as
airborne allergies.  Carol.
