Abdominal pain, fatigue, recurrent headaches, acne, joint pain and depressive symptoms are some of the signs that can appear suddenly, without knowing the origin. All of them can have a single explanation: food intolerance.
Those who refuse certain types of food can also suffer from the problem. Physician Patrícia Santiago comments that it is common to see patients complaining of hair loss and brittle nails. Symptoms are often due to vitamin B7 or zinc deficiency, a consequence of food intolerance.
