Elimination diets for adverse food reactions
It's relatively uncommon for a pet to have an adverse food reaction due to a true food allergy, although gastrointestinal upset due to sensitivity to a food ingredient may occur more often. Adverse reactions to food include true allergies, which are due to the immune system responding to the ingredient, and food intolerances, which are not immune-mediated, such as lactose intolerance.
