'''Food sensitivities''' or food intolerances cause a harmful reaction, that is often delayed, to a food, drink, food additive, or compound found in foods that produces symptoms in one or more body organs and systems, but generally refers to reactions other than food [[allergy]]. Food hypersensitivity is used to refer broadly to both food intolerances and food allergies. ==Symptom recognition== *The [[International Consensus Criteria]] lists sensitivities to food, medications, [[multiple chemical sensitivity|odors or chemicals]] as an optional criteria for diagnosis, under the section ''C. Immune, gastro-intestinal and genitourinary impairments''.<ref name="ICC2011criteria">{{citation | last = Carruthers | first1 = BM | authorlink1 = Bruce Carruthers | last2 = van de Sande | first2 = MI | authorlink2 = Marjorie van de Sande | last3 = De Meirleir | first3 = KL | authorlink3 = Kenny de Meirleir | last4 = Klimas | first4 = NG | authorlink4 = Nancy Klimas | last5 =Broderick | first5 = G | authorlink5 = Gordon Broderick | last6 = Mitchell | first6 = T | authorlink6 = Terry Mitchell | last7 = Staines | first7 = D | author-link8 = Donald Staines | last8 =Powles | first8 = ACP | author-link8 = A C Peter Powles | last9 = Speight | first9 = N | author-link9 = Nigel Speight | last10 = Vallings | first10 = R | authorlink10 = Rosamund Vallings | last11 = Bateman | first11 = L | authorlink11 = Lucinda Bateman | last12 = Baumgarten-Austrheim | first12 = B | authorlink12 = Barbara Baumgarten-Austrheim | last13 = Bell | first13 = DS | authorlink13 = David Bell | last14 = Carlo-Stella | first14 = N | authorlink14 = Nicoletta Carlo-Stella | last15 = Chia | first15 = J | authorlink15 = John Chia | last16 = Darragh | first16 = A | authorlink16 = Austin Darragh | last17 = Jo | first17 = D | authorlink17 = Daehyun Jo | last18 = Lewis | first18 = DP | authorlink18 = Donald P Lewis | last19 = Light | first19 = AR | authorlink19 = Alan Light | last20 = Marshall-Gradisnik | first20 = S | authorlink20 = Sonya Marshall-Gradisnik | last21 = Mena | first21 = I | authorlink21 = Ismael Mena | last22 = Mikovits | first22 = JA | authorlink22 = Judy Mikovits | last23 = Miwa | first23 = K | authorlink23 = Kunihisa Miwa | last24 = Murovska | first24 = M | authorlink24 = Modra Murovska | last25 = Pall | first25 = ML | authorlink25 = Martin Pall | last26 = Stevens | first26 = SR | authorlink26 = Staci Stevens | title = Myalgic encephalomyelitis: International Consensus Criteria | journal = Journal of Internal Medicine | volume = 270| issue = 4 | page = 327–338 | date =Aug 22, 2011 | pmid = 21777306 | doi = 10.1111/j.1365-2796.2011.02428.x | url = http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2796.2011.02428.x/full }}</ref> *2018, The [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] note ME/CFS patients can have "allergies and sensitivities to foods, odors, chemicals, or noise."<ref>{{Cite web | title = Symptoms {{!}} Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) {{!}} CDC| url = https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/symptoms-diagnosis/symptoms.html|website=[[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] | date = 2018-05-18|access-date=2018-08-23|language=en-us}}</ref> ==Prevalence== *In a 2001 Belgian study, 48.5% of patients meeting the [[Fukuda criteria]] and 54.8% of patients meeting the [[Holmes criteria]], in a cohort of 2073 [[chronic fatigue syndrome|CFS]] patients, reported [[New allergies and intolerances|new sensitivities to food or drugs]].<ref name="DeBecker2001">{{Cite journal | last = De Becker | first = Pascale | authorlink = Pascale De Becker | last2 = McGregor | first2 = Neil | authorlink2 = Neil McGregor | last3 = De Meirleir | first3 = Kenny | authorlink3 = Kenny De Meirleir | date = Dec 2001 | title = A definition‐based analysis of symptoms in a large cohort of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome | url =https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1046/j.1365-2796.2001.00890.x?sid=nlm%3Apubmed|journal=Journal of Internal Medicine|volume=250|issue=3 | pages = 234–240|doi=10.1046/j.1365-2796.2001.00890.x|quote=|via=}}</ref> ==See also== *[[New allergies and intolerances]] *[[Multiple chemical sensitivity]] *[[Mast cell activation syndrome]] (MCAS) ==Learn more == ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:Signs and symptoms]] [[Category:Sensitivity signs and symptoms]] [[Category:Digestive signs and symptoms]] [[Category:Food intolerances]] [[Category:Long COVID signs and symptoms]]
