This is a question for people with food intolerances. For instance suppose you are intolerant to Food X. Is it the case that

a) you can't eat any of Food X daily without having significant symptoms
or
b) you can eat some of Food X daily without any symptoms but too much of Food X daily will cause significant symptoms.

Thanks,

D

It depends on the sensitivity level of the individual.

I find that I need to stop food completely for at least 3 months. Currently am having a little once a week to see what happens. My dr says try very very dilute amounts every day & gradually build it up. Have to try and see what works.

I have a few intolerances to food. With regards to dairy, the only thing I can eat without a reaction is yogurt or hard cheese, most likely because of the enzymes and live cultures. I absolutely cannot do ice cream, soft cheese or any % of milk - reaction is pretty swift. I can eat some things with gluten, but I tend to pay for it later and I'd rather not. I guess I'd fall into your "a" category.

It depends on the person and their level of sensitivity, and the food.

For me, it depends on the food and even how it is prepared.

I can have dairy- especially yogurt and cheese, and I can use a little half and half in my coffee, but if I have straight milk or ice cream for example, I am guaranteed to have asthma and eczema the next day. 

My son cannot tolerate even the smallest, tiniest amount of Red Dye #40 or nitrates.  He turns into a beast in 12 hours.  Really.  His behavior is awful.
