However, for about one in five, it’s much more complicated: They suffer from one or more food intolerances. As a result, they have to pay close attention to whether the food they eat contains problematic ingredients.

Histamine, fructose, etc .: Which products should be avoided if you have intolerances? What else can you eat?
