85a - ALLERGY if the N is wrong?

[pixie373]

Intolerance isn't the same as allergy

Hmmm. Thanks, bb. Obviously an allergy is a type of intolerance, but an intolerance isn't necessarily an allergy. If that makes sense? Can't think of anything better though!

[bibblebub]

but concise crosswords are mostly about picking the one synonym from several that fits the letters

[pixie373]

But it's the wrong way round (sorry, i know I'm disagreeing with a dictionary!)
although Chambers doesn't have it
//intolerant adj (often intolerant of something) refusing or unwilling to accept ideas, beliefs, behaviour, etc different from one's own. intolerance noun. intolerantly adverb.
ETYMOLOGY: 18c: from Latin intolerans, from tolerare to endure.//

it's like saying a dog is a jack Russell.

Not taking sides here... honest..cos can't better the answer given but from Wiki

Food intolerance or non-allergic food hypersensitivity is a term used widely for varied physiological responses associated with a particular food, or compound found in a range of foods.

Food intolerance is a detrimental reaction, often delayed, to a food, beverage, food additive, or compound found in foods that produces symptoms in one or more body organs and systems, but it is not a true food allergy. A true food allergy requires the presence of immune mechanisms (as for instance Immunoglobin E - IgE antibodies) against the food, and a food intolerance does not

[pixie373]

Exactly, an allergy involves the immune system. Intolerance doesn't.

there might be a medical difference but I would suggest that colloquially it is a reasonable match
