Gastrointestinal (GI) intolerance is much more common than food allergy and has distinctly different causes and symptoms.¹ GI intolerance happens when the digestive system cannot process some foods, causing an unpleasant physical reaction to them.¹ Unlike a food allergy, it does not involve an immune system reaction - in fact, people with GI intolerance can usually tolerate small amounts of these foods without experiencing any uncomfortable symptoms.¹

The symptoms of GI intolerance happen quite slowly (often many hours after eating the offending food), last for a long time and include bloating and stomach pain.¹ Because the symptoms are very similar to those caused by other conditions (for example, inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome), GI intolerance can be difficult to accurately identify.¹

A healthy, balanced diet is essential for your child to support their growth and development through each stage of life.

Cow’s milk allergy (CMA), or cow’s milk protein allergy, is one of the most common childhood food allergies. It is estimated to affect less than 2% of UK infants2, although most children outgrow it by the age of 5.

Abbott is in the business of helping people live longer and better at all ages and stages of life through good health. Sustainability is an essential part of this, and an essential part of our mission.
