Scientists have limited knowledge about the prevalence and causes of food intolerances. The known causes include:

Enzyme Deficiencies:
Some of the most prevalent food intolerances are caused by enzyme deficiencies, which inhibit the breakdown of a certain food ingredient and cause adverse reactions. These deficiencies can be genetic or acquired. Enzymes that can cause food intolerance are lactose, diamine oxidase, and aldolase B.

Medical Conditions:
Some medical conditions are known to increase the risk of developing a food intolerance. They include celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, Impaired intestinal barrier (leaky gut), Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic kidney disease, viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and parasitic infections.

Medical Interventions:
Surgery on the small intestine, gastric bypass, radiation therapy, and others.

Medications
Some medications can disrupt the gut microbiota, causing or increasing the risk of developing a food intolerance. They include anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, blood pressure medications, local anesthetics, diuretics, antidepressants, antibiotics, and steroids.

If you are not sure about your causes of food intolerance, talk to a professional.
