The difference between food sensitivities and food intolerance involves how the body responds to ingesting particular foods. With food sensitivities, an immune reaction produces immunoglobin G (IgG) antibodies to attack the food substance, causing several delayed symptoms throughout the body. In contrast, food intolerance involves the inability to process or digest a particular food. With that in mind, an example of food intolerance would be lactose intolerance, while an example of food sensitivity would be gluten sensitivity.
