In medicine, food hypersensitivity (food allergies or food allergy) is a form of immediate hypersensitivity that is "Gastrointestinal disturbances, skin eruptions, or shock due to allergic reactions to allergens in food."[1]

Food hypersensitivity is difficult to diagnose and may be overdiagnosed.[2] Food hypersensitivity is different from lactose intolerance.
