Can you be allergic to carbohydrates?

It is uncommon to have a true carbohydrate allergy. However, some people may experience an intolerance to certain carbohydrates, such as lactose (milk sugar) or fructose (fruit sugar), which can result in symptoms such as gas, bloating, or abdominal pain. These are generally not considered true allergies, but rather digestive issues.

If you suspect that you may have an intolerance to a specific type of carbohydrate, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause of your symptoms and to receive appropriate dietary recommendations.
