Cream

Cream intolerance involves the digestive system’s inability to properly process compounds in cream, resulting in discomfort and various symptoms. This is a non-immune response, unlike a cream allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in cream, potentially causing severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Cream intolerance generally leads to milder, primarily digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve the immune system.

• Bloating and gas
• Abdominal pain
• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Indigestion

If you consistently experience digestive discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, or diarrhea after consuming cream or dairy products containing it, it may be wise to consider a test for cream intolerance. This is particularly important if these symptoms disrupt your daily activities or if the specific cause of your discomfort is unclear, as it could be indicative of other dietary sensitivities or health issues.
