A pathological reaction may or may not be immediate. There are
different kinds of pathological reactions. I would say that
tolerance implies no pathological reaction, immediate or delayed.
Indigestion is caused by the inability to digest something. It
might well be a protein, or it could be a sugar such as lactose,
or a kind of fat, such as the new synthetic fat Olestra. Other
pathological reactions may be delayed, such as illnesses caused
by hydrogenated fats.
