BBC.co.uk: Many 'imagine' food intolerance

Imagined food intolerance... I wonder if I have any. -rolleyes

 

Why get diagnosed by a professional. When you can do it yourself -rolleyes

 

Just insist that you are allergic to anything which contain CALORIES!

 

I bet that many people in the UK who don't like vegetables for example (heard it on a BBC program some months ago, what's it called? Ruin Your Kids' Future?) and use that food intolerancy as an excuse to avoid eating stuff they don't like.

 

hehe, I remember pretending to be allergic to eggplant to get out of eating it

 

How can you pretend to be allergic to something? Do you roll on the floor and pretend you are dying after you eat it?

 

What's the difference between intolerance and allergies? Some people do get severe allergies towards certain foods, like seafood, eggs and peanuts. It's the proteins in the food that react and cause the allergic reaction

 

hmm thats interesting
