What is the difference between food allergies, food sensitivities, food intolerance? 

The short answer is that food allergies are an immediate reaction to ingesting a food whereas food sensitivities are a delayed reaction to a food (72 hours to 3 weeks).  Because of the time between ingesting the problematic food and experiencing a reaction,  a food sensitivity may be less obvious and require more investigation. Food intolerance is caused by difficulty digesting a particular food, which can result in digestive symptoms within a few hours of ingestion and also leaky gut.
